My friend Joseph who tattoos at Visual Orgasm in Singapore got me wondering… Is this like the equivalent of someone getting an Attila the Hun tattoo just because you know he’s a bad ass or something? I really wonder what the meaning is in the context of Singapore…
After all, people get plenty of evil characters from fiction tattooed on them because it appeals to them on some level, even though they’re not endorsing the evil actions or anything… Is this different somehow because it strikes a more real and current nerve? I don’t know. That said, I can say with 100% certainty that I would never personally get a Hitler tattoo!!!!

A short distance off the coast of the remote Micronesian island of Pohnpei lies one of the greatest archeological mysteries in the world, the Lost City of Nan Madol. Built on an ancient coral reef and covering more than 11 square miles, this ancient city is made up of hundreds of artificial islets, intersected by numerous manmade canals. Even more curious, many of the city’s larger islands are connected by submerged tunnels. First discovered in the early 1800’s by European sailors, this baffling and immense megalithic stone city may contain evidence for the fabled lost continent of Mu.
The mysterious Nan Madol is built entirely out of gigantic magnetized basalt crystals, some weighing as much as fifty tons. In fact, the entire city contains an estimated 250 million tons of the prismatic basalt rock.
How this city came into existence, continues to baffle archeologists. Considering that radiocarbon dating and archeological excavations establishes Nan Madol to be as old as 200 BC, any conventional explanation for this massive construction (such as brute force) simply does not work very well. Native mythology suggests that the stones were magically flown through the air and placed in the city.
Nan Madol is steeped in scientific controversy and legend. The word ‘Pohn-pei’ means ‘on the alter’ and ‘Nan-Madol’ means ‘the spaces between’, indicating the canals – or spaces between the artificial islands.
The origin of the basalt building stones of Nan Madol is unknown. It did not come from the immediate area. The hexagonal shape of the stones is natural and is not man-made, however, due to the sheer size of the basalt blocks, one has to question how they could have possibly been transported to the coral reef.
The massive basalt logs are stacked to form walls as high as 50 feet and as thick as 17 feet. How was this accomplished in an age before machines? Additionally, the numerous canals were clearly cut into the reef with a very high degree of precision, but how?
While the architecture of Nan Madol is anything but ornate (it’s design is sober and very utilitarian), there are rumors of incredible treasures being found there.
Before the outbreak of World War II, the Japanese administered the strange island. The Japanese investigated a Nan Madol legend that referred to corpses resting in the ‘House of the Dead’, and allegedly their divers discovered an underwater structure containing elaborate watertight coffins made of pure platinum. Records indicating how much of the platinum may have been removed by the Japanese, or if any of the platinum watertight coffins still exist, has been either hidden away or destroyed in the Second World War.
By any measure, the city is impressive. The work is of such scale that it easily compares in scope with the building of the Great Wall of China or the Great Pyramid of Egypt (the average weight of a stone in the Great Pyramid was only three tons). It becomes even more remarkable, however, when you consider that many of the areas current inhabitants live in humble grass huts and not massive stone buildings. What could have possibly caused such a regression of technology and culture in the area?
There are no existing records that can answer questions about who built the city, when the city was built, how it was built, or even why it was built. Archeologists have uncovered human bones that belonged to people considerably larger than the Micronesians who live there today. They have also uncovered pottery shards that have been “thermo-luminescence” dated as being at least 2000 years old. Adding to the mystery are the persistent rumors and physical evidence of another sunken city, Madolynym, in the water near Nan Madol.

bradly, you’re a fucking retard, im not talking about the fucking ancient significance of that symbol you fucking cunt, you complete fucking spastic, you have totally missed the point you silly fucking wanker. 99% of people associate the swastika, hook cross, or hakenkreuz with the nazis, and these people get very offended by this symbol. They do not however get offended when they see the red star of communism, why should this be? seeing as the communists murdered millions more than the nazis.
the problem is left wing media and parasites like you that have no idea what the fuck you’re on about. You’re talking about the fucking ancient history of the symbol, who the fuck mentioned anything about that you fucking degenerate? by the way dick head, i can google swastika and copy and paste all that gibberish you posted as well you fucking maggot.
by the way, you talk like a bolshevic, endless jargon of misinformation, i reckon you’re a closet stalinist as well as a closet homosexual

LISTEN ALL. ACHTUNG: Hitler is not a phenomenom, a individual monster, the mother of all evil. He is just like any other uneducated scared middleclass nationalistic german: very dangerous. Take the same fellow, but not german or scared, just for money and family: Bush Jr (and Sr). The size of your Holocaust depends on who you are, when and where you are… John Negroponte (never heard about the Tegucigalpa Vampire?) had his 50 month of Central América silent killing fields, and his killing days of Bagdad. And who will be sacared to see him in a tatoo?

I think that this tattoo represents a meaningful voice. Hitler was a genius, he honestly was. One must agree that even if they impose that he was evil, he still was far more intellegent than they were. With what little time he had in office, he accomplished many great things. There IS a supreme race and there IS a way to acheive it. Hitler was on his way to acheiving this goal. I would love to have his face on my body. I applaud whom ever did this tattoo and the recipient of it as well.

Everyone is always going on about freedom of speech, and freedom of art in any way should be the same thing. You have to live with what you say, and a tattoo is more of a perm thing. Each to their own. Good on the person for pushing the limit. I think its much better than a picture of barbed wife on someones arm. Look how tough I am, I have a picture of barbed wire on my arm 🙂

Well, personally I don’t see a difference between my Uncle Adolf or someone elses Uncle Stalin. See, Stalin also murdered millions of people. One of the main differences is that they were his own people. But nobody thinks of him as a monster. Why is this? If anyone could tell me the true reason why Hitler had a hatred for the jews you would understand why everything happened the way it did. And no he wasnt half jewish, nor any member in his family

Honestly, I think that the freedom of speech is what you interpret it as, people get tats of everything from mass murders to gay orgies on their bodies. Coming form a Neo Nazi, this may not sound like much but a long rambling, so I will try to make this breif, First Hitler was a great Man, Leader, and Fuehrer. Second, it does show that this person is not affraid to express his right as an “American” to freedom of speech. Last, if any of you have ever read Mein Kampf, thats the book he wrote while imprisoned in 1930 for you idiots, hitler was a very smart person, but had no intentions to take the mass execution of the jews to the level that it had rissen to, it was simply due to the pressure form the german people that believed in him.

Could you really, really look every day into the face of a man, while knowing how this person has destroyed an unbelievable amount of lives and changed the history in such bad way? Either this guy (and I am pretty sure that it´s a guy) is a nazi, a total retard or just seeks controversion for every price.

Look at Hitler’s moustache. That’s how he got all the people to listen to him.

it’s a picture of Hitler, it’s on a persons arm it’s no different to it being a picture of hitler on a sheet of paper in my eyes. Yeah it’s fucked up but it’s his/her body and if it’s what they wanted to get inked with it’s up to them…

Hell, I personally think that its a great tattoo, great artist who did it, if he can do that with ink on someones arm great, and fair play to the bloke, I agree with him, Nazi’s deserve to be recognised and maybe that and skinheads are the only way, which is why I am a skinhead, and I wish to get a swastika later in life.

Joke ;]
But I still agree with it, but I am a skinhead, but I dont desire tattoos on my body.

I’d say 99% of you have no idea of Hitlers life. You are brought up in life and told ‘Hitler is bad!’ That’s great.. Ask people whos the worst person in history? 9/10 people say Hitler.. Yet how many of them know him? next to none. You should always learn about those you hate, before hating them. I have studied Hitler for many years, and there is far far worse people out there.
Should beat the shit out of all your dumb arses in the world who hate for no reason.
And no, I am not a skin head, and no im not part of the KKK or any other association with Hitler.

Remember to those who are ignorant… There are more people in Los Angeles that have single handedly killed more people than the Adolf Hitler. It shows much power to have over 1,000,000 soldiers do it for you…

Symbols are very powerful. They have a direct effect on the human brain. Nobody can deny that Hitler is a particularly powerful symbol of hatred, discrimination, and terror with resonance for anyone who recognizes his image.
Wearing a symbol like this implies identification with it. I, for one, see no reason to consider other people’s tattoos of equally (or perhaps more) evil figures in forming an opinion about this tattoo. Simply put, the wearer of this tattoo may as well have tattooed himself with “kill all jews,” or “gas them all,” or “I advocate the killing of innocent people,” none of them statements that would be incompatible with an image of Adolf Hitler.

Since Mao (China) killed so many MORE people than Hitler did, I hope that *every* one who feels so strongly about this Hitler tattoo feels even *more* strongly about tattoos of Chairman Mao.
People in the west think Mao is a cute classic cartoon character like “Popeye” or something. He was a real person, and he killed more people than Hilter did.
Even worse, the atrocities are still ongoing. They’re present tense. Mao’s own Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is still in power.
In other words:
Imagine a Hitler tattoo …
… now imagine a Hitler tattoo in a parallel universe: one where the Nazis never lost the war, and are still in power, still oppressing people right now, as you read this (imagine over a *billion* people) …
… now imagine many times as many deaths.
(BTW: many of those killed in China were killed due to ethnic ties (esp Manchurians and Hmong) but some were killed for their beliefs and some because their relatives were doctors, lawyers, businesspeople, etc [it parallels the Jewish Holocaust experience in ways that are too profound, but with bigger numbers. Land seized, whole generations of families wiped out, torture, slavery, entire regions purposefully starved to death as collective punishment for being “uppity”, the whole bit]).
But you can find Mao T-Shirts all over T-Shirt store. Its all like “Wheeeeee! Chairman Mao on a T-Shirt! Its so hysterical!”
IMHO: Mao tattoo evil > Hitler tattoo evil.
I’m against both (Mao AND Hitler) tattoos.

This is a great tatt no matter what the subject. The people that are totally against someone getting a tatt like this, or saying that they would like to beat this person, should take a good look at themselves. With statements like that they are more like the man or ideals thaey hate.
