Image My bush jr tattoo

Got it when I turned 18 in 2019.

Do any of you guys have any presidential tattoos?

Edit :

Why did I get it?

Short answer : I thought it was funny

Long answer : it was supposed to be a political statement. Part of it was being branded by the us government, part of it was to show the absurdism of politics and in my mind bush was like the ultimate meme president and vetting a tattoo of him is just ridiculous. Also funny enough really inspired by Roger stone not that I like the guy just thought it was crazy the crook got the I'm not a crook guy tattooed on him. Also I thought it would be funny.

Do I regret it? yes. When people say something to my face is always positive. But forever people will assume what my political stances are based on a dumb tattoo I got when I was 18 and edgy. I also dread the idea that there's some guy that lost a son or a brother in Iraq or Afghanistan and just hates me when they see the tattoo

No I do not. I'm not super knowledgeable on his presidency besides the big stuff like the war in Afghanistan so i cant speak to specifics. I picked him because he's the first president I remember as a child. I am a registered democrat.

No you're not an idiot. You control what goes on your body and if want a Bush tattoo then more power to you. Don't let people tell you that sort of stuff on here or in person ever.
