Graham Platner had his totenkopf nazi tattoo replaced by a "some kind of Celtic knot with a dog on it"

He described the tattoo in vanity fair magazine today.
googling this returns two results, none of them are about a distinct organization
combined with the totenkopf, i'm going to say it's SS
It's not Trail Forest Crew. It's Trail Fixing Collective, he's just forgotten the proper name of its origin.

Est 1919
This one is fine. Unless it's also part of an op. I'm a little suspicious of the claim it was established in 1919. A google search restricting results to "before 2020" turns up absolutely nothing for "trail fixing collective" so I'm dubious that ever existed before 2021 and that in turn makes the 1919 really suspicious tbh.
All of this shit smells like op to me. Feels really similar to the fuckery that Bored Ape Yacht Club was pulling and practically every argument online is really similar to the same arguments about how that nft group couldn't possibly be nazis.
Wtf was this?
The monkey nfts? Nazi op.
Also notable that they were called "Yuga labs". "Surf the Kali Yuga" is a popular phrase among crypto-nazis, and I mean crypto not in the currency sense.
All of this shit when NFTs were relevant was a similar discussion. Crypto nazis generate the same feeling every time where it all feels slightly weird and tinfoil hat and people start questioning their own sanity but then later on everyone wonders why it was ever even a fucking debate given how obvious it was.
I included a link to the group that I found at the bottom of my post. The article says that the group was only referred to by the name "TFC" and that it would jokingly call themselves "Trail Fucking Crew", but that some referred to the group as "Trail Fixing Crew".
Another link.
