Young TikTokers inadvertently get Nazi tattoos in Generation Z trend gone wrong

Gen Z users – who make up the majority of users – have recently been embracing a new tattoo trend of inking a ‘Z’ symbol on themselves.

While the design was meant as a stylish nod to Gen Z (those born between 1997 and 2012), some users have googled the motif only to realise their new ink actually resembles a Nazi symbol.

The tattoo has sparked outrage among victims of white supremacist groups, as well as those to whom the Holocaust and the Nazi devastation of WWII holds cultural significance. Picture: TikTok.

In a video that has since been made private but continues to be shared across the platform, TikTok user ‘smoothavocado’ suggested that all members of the youngest generation get matching tattoos.

“What if, now hear me out … we all got a matching tattoo, not only a symbol of unity in our generation, but also as a sign of rebellion,” she said in the post, reports Yahoo.

Other users were quick to point out the likeness between a “Z” with a line through it and the wolfsangel symbol – which is often associated with the Nazi party and other white supremacist groups.

The user later uploaded a second video saying “Yeah maybe don’t … let’s find a different symbol.” @kcmbrly
