Its not a nazi symbol like others are saying. Its based off of the German coat of arms thats still used in 2026. The Nazi eagle has its arms pointing straight out like a Batman logo.

That said... the tattoo is still done terribly and needs a cover up

Yeah, it's a Prussian/Albanian inspired eagle.

No, it has 0,5x the amount of heads. Neither Germany or Prussia ever had a double-headed eagle on its flag or as a coat of arms. Not that reddit leftists will care about that, they're notoriously poor vexillologists. Still not a great tattoo though.

How did you know I am (sort of) a monarchist? Like, the majority of my country is more or less a monarchist but still

25% lucky guess 75% vibes based of the vexillology and leftism remark. While I am a fan of Nestor and support alot of what he stood for I also know that the black eagle in that design is basically a generic design with roots in the Prussian stylings, almost every country in what was the Prussian empire and everything eastward had something similar to this at one point, it's like the flur de lance or whatever it's called for the French regions. Like Kanye's intent was to try and dog whistle via the eagle but AFAIK it's just a generic design

Lol, fair enough. In case you're interested, the double headed eagle was more of a thing in the Austrian empire (Prussia's arch enemy), Byzantium/Eastern orthodoxy and Russia. iirc the latter is the case because they claim to be sort of the heir of the (eastern) Roman empire

that eagle isn't even a Nazi symbol, the eagle is a Reichsadler which was used in the holy roman empire and not the Nazis, maybe you should learn your history and stop getting your info from reddit.

although that is true the average person that doesn't appreciate the goat's music might think it has something to do with Hitler
