I understand your sentiment - but the Iron Cross is not exactly the same as a Swatchica or a SS rune - the Iron Cross was original a knight cross, where was given to soldiers who had doing great deeds in wars - in fact many symbols of the Nazi regime was symbols from long time ago - but was used in a way that ruined the symbols for as long as someone still will be able to remember the nazi regime... If I was in the business - I would refuse to tattoo anything like an iron cross - or other symbols who was known to be used by the nazi-germany regime between 1933 and 1945... Many in may family was fighting the germans - in the resistance, or in service for the king and country in the wars - some died also, in KZ camps - or survived, to be mer skeletons when they come home after the war - and had horrible nightmares for the rest of their natural liefs.. Some principles is to important to have, than to earn some money..
And I understand why you hesitated about tattoo a iron cross - as I doubt anyone would just have a iron cross on their body - if they was not into nazism in one way or another.. Nazisms are not just the hooligans you see on TV now and then.. In many cases some of the worst criminals under Hitler Germany, was clean cut, polite and very civilized - when they ordered millions to their death in east europe.... Some of the worst, Hendrick, Dr Mengele, and many others, was never them selfs bloody and with unclean hands - Dr Mengele is reported to have a clean uniform every day, and spoke in a gentle voice - even as he was sending jews, children, woman and men to their graves in the gas shambers... Pure evils come in many forms - some of the worst, wear often suits when they do their crimes...
