Do you know you cannot get "88" tattoo in many places. I learned about it from an anecdote. Apparently "H" is an eighth letter of the alphabet and some nazi idiots were using number instead of letter to get "Heil Hitler" on themselves.
I had been a student in catholic school, so I know how idiotic can interpretations of symbols be. Church in Poland officially condones rainbow, their own gods symbol from old testament, as a satanic symbol. Even national animal of Scotland is on a list of satanic symbols.
I strongly believe sufficiently knowledgeable tattoo artist can refuse every single tattoo idea on a political or religious basis. There is no symbol out there that never been used by a commonly accepted as evil organisation, ideology or person.
Just think about "88" again for a second. You know what was my first interpretation? A "Back to the Future" fans. 88 miles per hour is a supposed speed needed to travel in time. In movies of course.
If I was a billionaire I would create a terrorist organisation that uses either classic catholic cross or logo of the UN as their symbol. Just to see how much do I need to do change the perception of the symbol.
