Maine Senate candidate David Platner recently addressed controversy over a tattoo he received nearly two decades ago while serving as a Marine, which he later learned was associated with Nazi symbolism. Upon discovering its meaning, Platner enlisted the help of his friend and tattoo artist Mischa Ostberg to cover it up with a Celtic knot and a dog, reflecting his heritage and love for his pets. Ostberg, who has only been tattooing professionally for two years, said the cover-up was a personal gesture and highlighted Platner's willingness to take responsibility for his past mistakes. Despite facing criticism over both the tattoo and past online comments, Platner continues his campaign, aiming to secure the Democratic nomination for a key Senate seat.
