Are nazi tattoos in Poland legal if they are hidden? Can they still get you in trouble?

...and stupid. Anyway, either keep it hidden and it maybe won't be a problem or put a big No sign [ Ø ] over it with the words 'never again!' and it's no longer a nazi tattoo but an anti-nazi tattoo.

Can they get you in trouble... What do you think? A country that was destroyed by it - personally i would worry more about the people that will see it on the street than the legality of it.

The hilarious things people write on here.

First we get this PolishUltras guy posting an essay about being upset he didn't get to sleep with two Russian teenagers and how he thinks his mum ruined this opportunity for him.

Now somebody asks if it might be an issue to walk around Poland with a Nazi tattoo.

You should get it removed whether you are coming to Poland or not.

i really want to get it removed but i'm trying to save money this year and i dont think i can get it removed before arriving to poland.So am i to be taken in custody by the police or charged a fine if its reported that i have a nazi tattoo even though i have it hidden at all times?I'd be really grateful if someone would answer this.Thanks

Don't expose your leg and no-one will be the wiser. It's great that you have recognised the foolishness of your youth, but getting rid of that should be a priority. If you are really worried about airport searches (highly unlikely), cover it with a plaster. At least then they'll see you're not showing it off.

So am i to be taken in custody by the police

Yes, if they see it.

If it's exposed and it's seen by the police, they will arrest you.

Cover it with a plaster or bandage. Better still get it tattooed over, quickly.

Or get a sharp knife and cut it away.. it will save you a spell in prison and a large fine.

Naxos are supposed to be tough, aren't they.

And yet all I read is complaints about this place going downhill. Epic threads are being had.
