There’s a pretty wide gap between spots three and four, bud. Even before considering that you forgot about the arm bands and the mustache.

Also skulls are the most widely used symbols for all sorts of things throughout history and modern pop culture

That’s what I said lmao. And that it’s only part of the very specific design half the comment section’s never seen before. Some guy even tattooed it on himself without knowing it, buddy
