Trump supporters keen to capture the striking symbol of a bloodied Donald Trump brandishing his fist in defiance after being shot have turned to tattoo artists so it can be permanently returned to their bodies.
Photos and videos of several tattoo parlor buyers have circulated on social media, as enthusiasts of the Trump-affiliated Make America Great Again movement show off their new tattoos. Trump’s symbol, which he shot in the ear as the bullet passed by his head, has become instantly iconic, and some analysts suggest that Trump’s positive, near-miss reaction may have boosted his chances of winning. the November elections.
Both sides of the political spectrum have called for calm and unity in the wake of the assassination attempt that killed one of Trump’s supporters and wounded two others at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, on Saturday. The FBI continues to investigate 20-year-old gunman Thomas Matthew Crooks, who shot and killed a Secret Service sniper shortly after opening fire.
Some MAGA supporters marked the incident by getting tattoos. Newsweek has not identified all of the tattoo owners, the artists guilty of the designs, nor has it independently determined that the tattoos are real.
However, photographs of the tattoos have gone viral on the networks.
A shared clip and an American flag over it. The clip has been viewed more than 50,000 times.

A Florida-based tattoo artist shared a symbol on his timleasetattoos Instagram account. His tattoo showed the scene in an oval shape, with an American flag adding a colorful background; Trump’s raised fist stood out above the oval as if he stepped outside the lines.
The artist captioned the photo: “IF YOU KNOW ME. You’ll know I did this tattoo just for fun. I was just looking to remind everyone that I will not tolerate hate, bullying, or violent comments on my page. Healthy Debates and differing opinions are welcome, especially when it comes to politics, but be respectful and FRIENDLY. Let’s create a positive and supportive network together.
The symbol is shared and credited to X through an account called The Space Coast Rocket.
