You’re gonna get downvoted because most of us uhmmm … dislike Polish nationalists.

Visits Kraków once
Looks good!
and now recite Rota of Maria Konopnicka ;>
Very cool!
Have you ever been to Poland or can you speak polish?
Ah yes proud of being 1% polish
Looks nice
Americans in my polish hertiage
Nice tat OP, looks dope!
Before this post gets filled with hate and pointless discussion about Polisheness. I would like to remind everyone that people with Polish heritage are our allies. It doesn’t matter how much our lifes differ as long as we care about Poland.
😛
IMHO, that is an offence under Article 137 § 1 of the Polish Penal Code: “Public insult to a state sign or symbol”.

The Coat of Arms of Poland is not a symbol you can tattoo on your but or wherever.
Dear OP. I am sorry to tell You, but You’re not Polish. You have Polish heritage.
POLSKA GUROM
What is the specific cultural/historical aspect of Poland that gives you this pride? Jak dobrze mówisz po polsku? If you don’t have tattoos for other countries (like the US, where you were born & raised and breathe the culture & language), what makes you lack pride for your other more relevant homelands?
Busia would be proud.
I love chicken too
That eagle looks like it has had enough.
Am I the only one making a face like this?
Not hating on tattoos or Poland in general. This just doesn’t sit well with me.
Ignore the criticism. I think it’s awesome you have a tribute to your family’s heritage and that you love celebrating Polish culture. It’s so much more meaningful to do something like this than a random animal or symbol because someone thinks it “looks cool”. I’m sure your grandmother would be proud that you’re continuing traditions and honoring your background.
How is your language skills tho?
I feel second hand embarrassement
why
I saw a guy once with a White Eagle tattoo. It was well done, so I started up a conversation with him. In Polish.
He spoke no Polish.
But he was proud to have grandparents from Poland, so there’s that.
I was speaking with my son last night about how we had family in American at the end of the 19th century, and they returned to Poland in 1921, after Poland was reestablished by the Fourteen Points
>>>XIII. An independent Polish state should be erected which should include the territories inhabited by indisputably Polish populations, which should be assured a free and secure access to the sea, and whose political and economic independence and territorial integrity should be guaranteed by international covenant.
He asked me, if Poland didn’t exist, how did one know they were Polish. I explained that a true Pole always knew who and what they were and that never wavered.
Really? Name 3 songs of Zenek 😤
Jesus Christ now I know why people are mad at cultural appropriation by Americans
lol
In Poland it symbolizes narrow minded nationalists who think that they are best citizens when they contribute to nothing useful in society. Empty pride because they have nothing else in their life to be proud of. But I guess having it in USA means something different.
Now everyone in Poland will be able to spot the American even faster – typical ‘murican
Bobr tattoo next
Jesus that is cringe
So will wings drop as you age? Jk
Hello, I read some comments on here and ehhh, it’s just considered weird here to be… dedicated to this degree, I get it’s an american thing to be very very interested in any kind of ancestry across the ocean. But to us here it’s just not a thing. You do you. If its your way to honor the strong will and commitment to make shit work of your grandma then so be it. Rather strange way to show that, but at the end of the day it’s something you did for yourself couse it holds a meaning to you. It’s your own. However you are an american of polish ancestry, with traces of polish influence like cuisine in your life. Being polish by definition is something different.
But the tattoo is done in rather good quality, hats off to the tattoo artist, have a good day fella
please don’t
Bób, hummus, włoszczyzna
It’s bit a tacky thing to do. Gives strong far right vibes.
when you tattoo something that should be on your t-shirt:
Forgot to get ‘golumpki’ tattooed
I’d say we’d be prouder of you if you didn’t.
Sie jeszcze opal na raka od pasa w dół, będziesz miał flagę
Jakie miasto jest stolicą Polski ? 😎
Jezu Chryste… te linie…
It’s sad to see so many people shitting on the OP’s pride in his ancestry. Polaks who never left Poland understandably don’t get it, but in the US this is one way people show pride in their culture or ancestry.
As a Polak who fled Poland with his family in the 80s after my uncle (a regional Solidarność leader) was kidnapped, I grew up in the US learning a 3rd language (Greek was my 2nd) and constantly getting made fun of and even beat up for being a “dumb Polak”. Rather than pretend I wasn’t Polish, I doubled down and made sure people knew I was from Poland. When 1 out of 4 Polish citizens live outside of Poland, those 25% of emigrants sometimes want to hold onto their patriotism through permanent reminders of their culture in the form of tattoos. That’s what I did to show my pride and respect the OP for showing his.
