Should we cover up the tattoo?
🕑 Added 2021-10-31 19:37:00 +0000 UTCWe had someone comment and send messages from multiple accounts on Instagram about the “white supremacist, racist” tattoo. After explaining that the cross has been around since 1813; Hitler’s version had a swastika; it‘s a popular biker symbol in the U.S.; we’re an interracial couple and are strongly anti-racist - they apologized profusely and thanked us for explaining.
We’re sure there are others that didn’t know the history (or us), so I put up disclaimers on social media.
Should we take further steps to avoid confusion, such as writing letters/words on the tattoo, digitally or physically? If so, what? Or leave it alone?

It was a German-American that brought it to our attention. It’s good to hear from an actual German! Thanks 😘
