Graham Platner says he was never questioned about the skull-and-crossbones chest tattoo in the 20 years he had it
Graham Platner, a Democratic candidate for US Senate in Maine, said Wednesday that a tattoo on his chest has been covered to no longer reflect an image widely recognized as a Nazi symbol.
Platner said he got the skull and crossbones tattoo in 2007, when he was in his 20s and in the Marine Corps. It happened during a night of drinking while he was on leave in Croatia, he said, adding he was unaware until recently that the image has been associated with Nazi police.
