Well, a death’s head is no good, I completely agree. I’m European, though, and so saw these in school relatively early on. I’m just playing the devil’s advocate here, but would he have had access to the same level of knowledge?
I’m genuinely curious since I have no (or less, at least) skin in the game.
It’s a fucking totenkopf, it’s like the third most popular Nazi symbol after the swastika and the lightning bolt.

Maybe my opinion here is twisted because I grew up watching shows on the History Channel (back when it did history) about Nazis and WW2.
That said, I’m pretty sure I learned about Nazi symbols in high school, but I could be misremembering
Sorry we didn’t all grow up as enthralled by nazi symbology as you apparently did.
I’d say the mustache is higher on that list than an otherwise generic looking skull and crossbones.
Today I learned that knowing something means that I’m in its thrall.
Good to know!
So disingenuous. It does not look generic at all. This is a generic skull and crossbones ☠️
The death skull is a very specific design
Sorry, to me it just looks like a pirate flag. That’s the exact kind of tattoo I would expect a marine to get.
