If only it was the second iteration, which was a glorified MLM to bilk those bargain nazis out of their money in exchange for fucking klan memorabilia.
the worst thing about the second klan was it gave the founders of the third klan an opportunity to meet each other and go "oh! you're a HUGE bigot, too?"
I've recently been reading about them, and this is honestly pretty accurate. (Keeping in mind, of course, that even the least problematic klan was still extremely problematic on an objective level. It's just relative in this particular statement.)
They were super anti-Catholic, which feels almost quaint now. But they were their own worst enemies and eventually the greed and excess at the top caused the collapse of their entire pyramid scheme.
Strangely, that gives me hope for the US right now. History could repeat itself with our far-right techno-oligarchs.
Yep, I'm gonna let you have that one. Roger wouldn't eat a hotdog in Provincetown and was meticulous about bug spray in Key West. Both of those are bad, but not klan bad.
my great grandad was though. from the side of the family i never really much talked to because my dad wanted nothing to do with them after what they did to him in his upbringing
Honest question as someone who has no tattoos: why do people get cover ups instead of getting the tattoo removed? Is it a price issue? It often looks like a deliberate choice. But I cannot imagine that having a funny cover up of a tattoo you regret and still end up being reminded of is better than having it gone altogether.
a coverup is considerably cheaper and less painful than a removal. also, a removal often comes with a lot of visible scarring so a coverup can end up being less noticable
Laser removal cost 10-100x more than a cover up tattoo. Hurts even more and you need do multiple sessions. There is no guarantee that the removal works and sometimes you get a worse result.
I don't recommend searching for unsuccessful tattoo removal pictures. You will see some bad removal attempts and also some medical gore.
Why do people take the time to cut exes out of photos instead of just throwing the photos away? Sometimes it's about the pleasure of forcibly removing every trace of them from your life. It can be cathartic.
But I also acknowledge that it could also be about the cost and/or difficulty of removal. Not all removal procedures are 100% effective. If you're not entirely sure it will work, a cover-up could be a more effective choice.
As with all things, I'm sure the association fades over time. Sure, the new tattoo might remind you that the other one is there for a while. But then it becomes its own thing and you think about the old one less until one day you just don't think of it at all.

Don't get portrait tattoos till they're dead. That way they can't disappoint you.
Surprisingly, people can disappoint you after theyre dead.
Ugh yea, turns out Grandpa was kind of a bigot
hey at least he wasn't a founding member of the third iteration of the klan (the current one)

"the least problematic klan was the second klan, and other confusing things you don't want anyone to say to you"
All iterations of the klan are bad and stupid. But #2 was the least bad and the most stupid, so that's something.

just be ready for what rises from the ashes. because it was from that collapse that the Indiana Klan reorganized into the group we know today

Neither was I

All I'm saying is, I'm not and who ever says I am is a liar
Vegeta is dead... Kinda
This is the reason I wish I died as a child. Nothing but good memories for my family.
Vegeta’s had some work done goddamn
Most kissable Vegeta ever
Vegeta got thos DS lips
I appreciate the joke, but damn, that's an ugly Vegeta. Looks more like Channing Tatum.
The coverup artist was skilled but there's only so much one can do with those balloon lips.
It's not like they can selectively erase the ink that's already there.
Apparently they can around the ears
Vegeta can get into contouring. Don't police her.
Looks more like David Martínez grilling shawarma
I blame it on Vanessa. It's all her fault
first of all:
If that’s real that is both a terrible tattoo, and a terrible cover up tattoo.
Pretty funny though imagine your dumb ex gets a tattoo of your equally dumb face. You split. And they cover it up with Vegeta.
Actually that sounds pretty cool... I'd love to be Vegeta
It’s a terrible cover up because you can still see almost the entire original tattoo through it.
Oh yeah the execution is shit
You don't like snatched Vegeta? Cmonnnnn
Congratulations on the transition Vegeta! 🏳️⚧️
Oh man now I can jerk off to it!
Hey Vegeta! What does the scouter say about the cringe level?

Glow up.
Vanessa done ho'd it up.
Stop deadnaming him! He's Vegeta now!
I'm pretty sure this is photoshopped, unless they got some ink removed around her eyeliner/shadow.
White ink over the top?
What does the scouter say about his power level?
oh oh .. there's that old vegeta ble again.
Vegeta, how much is the fish?
