Democrat Graham Platner covers Nazi-linked tattoo, facing scrutiny over past offensive remarks.
Democratic Senate candidate Graham Platner revealed he had a skull and crossbones tattoo, later identified as associated with Nazi symbolism, which he acquired nearly two decades ago during a Marine deployment in Croatia.
Unaware of its meaning until recently, he enlisted tattoo artist Mischa Ostberg to cover it with a Celtic knot and dog design reflecting his Scottish heritage and love for pets.
The effort drew public scrutiny and mockery, amid broader criticism of Platner’s past Reddit posts containing offensive remarks about LGBTQ+ individuals, military sexual assault, and rural Americans.
Ostberg defended the cover-up as a personal, meaningful act of accountability.
