    Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner said Wednesday he has covered up a controversial tattoo that appeared to have a resemblance to a Nazi symbol.

    Platner, a U.S. military veteran and oyster farmer who is running for the Democratic nomination for the U.S. Senate in Maine, said in an Instagram video that he got his “skull and crossbones” tattoo covered on Tuesday.

    It was a SS-style totenkopf tattoo. He knew what is was for years.

    The same symbol is used often in Ukraine military.

    It also appears in this skit.
