gurl, it has a history of white supremacy. Especially with the eagle. A history buff would know that Mussolini has even adopted the use of SPQR as a throwback to roman greatness and used the idea of the past Roman Empire to push fascism. A history buff would know that the SPQR tattoo was only traditionally used for property of the roman empire, meaning that the SPQR tattoo in modern time has a political meaning behind it. In American contexts, usually white supremacy and right-wing ideology.
It doesn’t mean he is a white supremacist, but saying someone only gets a tattoo that marks them as the property of the Roman Empire because “they are a history buff” is beyond ignorant. Tattoos are permanent, there is always a clear message other than, “I like history”. Also, why the fuck would he admit to ever being a Nazi? The tattoo only has political meanings behind it, since it is inherently a political tattoo. Unless he is a time traveler from the Roman Empire who was Roman property, like a slave.
Anyways here are some pics
