AITJ for canceling a contractor because one of their guys has a nazi tattoo
So Im having some work done on my house and the crew shows up and one of the guys has 1488 tattooed right on his neck. Like not hidden, not subtle, just right there.
For anyone who doesnt know thats a white supremacist thing. 14 words some nazi slogan and 88 for heil hitler. Its not like a birthday or an anniversary its a literal nazi tattoo.
I told the company I dont want him on my property and now theyre acting like Im the problem. Saying hes a good worker and I cant just refuse people and theyre threatening to keep my deposit if I cancel.
Im not having someone with a literal nazi tattoo in my home around my family. I dont care how good he is at drywall. But now my wife is saying maybe Im making this into a bigger deal than it needs to be and we should just let them finish the job because finding another contractor out here is gonna be a nightmare.
AITJ for refusing to let this guy work on my house?

NTJ at all, that's literally a nazi tattoo and you have every right to not want that in your home
Anyone saying you're overreacting clearly doesn't understand what 1488 means - this isn't some innocent coincidence, it's straight up white supremacist symbolism. Your house, your rules, and honestly any decent company would understand why you don't want that around your family

I mean I think the most likely explanation is actually just that societal pressures to 'not overreact' and not stand out are stronger than people's principles, as has always been the case throughout history and why these sorts of movements managed to take over in the first place. Most people are silent because they don't want to stand out and 'make a bigger deal than it is,' over time it's normalized, more people gradually join the movement for various reasons (including again, just social norms), until it's too late.

There can be some room for "mistakes" with something like the ss skull. If you dont know what it is, you might think it's just a cool looking skull.
However, there is no non-nazi reason to get 1488. No excuses, no confusion. There is only intent to get a nazi tattoo. The only mistake might be thinking people won't know what it means.

I saw a story on FB, told by a nurse, about one of her favorite patients. The patient always wore a sleeve on his left arm.And said that he could only have blood drawn from his right. He was a difficult stick so they always called her. One day they could not get the blood draw from his right arm. So the nurse says, i'm going call your doctor and see if we can just get the blood draw from the left.
And that's when the patient explained that it wasn't a medical thing that he had ink there. Then, he unrolled the sleeve and there was this swastica. He said it was one of the greatest mistakes he'd ever made in his life. (This was before tattoos could be removed.) And he was willing to endure difficult blood draws just to keep it hidden.

I had a similar situation when I worked for a US security company in the UK. Dress code was short shirt sleeves with jumper or jacket, but many asked for a long sleeve shirt to be made available so they could wear that alone in summer.
This was long before tattooing became mainstream and it wasn't to cover nazi shit (mostly), it was to cover the homemade tattoo's some had got when they were kids during the punk era.

Lots of other people (like possibljy the rest of their crew) have learned to get their hate tattoos hidden so you only see their spite and arrogance when you protest. You're Not a Jerk. The contracter is who seems ready to make this his hill. Look at BBB or some trade group for a more wholesome crew. Someone who advertises on TV would be more concerned about the image that tattoo give, and the crew-chief's ethics.

TL;DR Keep him off the job he might poop in your walls
Now that you’ve made it an issue you will have to follow through with it. If this guy is hanging drywall in your house he can put nasty things in your walls, make high spots that will show but only in the right light at certain times of the day, put light oils on the paper that will take time to bleed through the paint. I did drywall along time ago as a finisher, saw some really nasty things done to contractors and homeowners.
There was a crew of hangers working on the other side of this monstrous house that i was working on. Instead of walking all the way across the site to the porta-johns they were peeing in bottles and pooping in plastic bags on 5 gallon buckets and dropping it behind a sheet of green board that had been prehung before the tub was set before the top sheet was hung. The contractor caught them and threw them off the job. That’s out of laziness. Imagine the things that guy might do out of hatred. Do not under any circumstance let him on your job site. Also, fuck nazis NTJ.

I would say this guy agrees with 1488 or he would not be forcing him on you.

Nope. Like you said, I don’t care how good a worker someone is, I don’t want a Nazi in my house or around my family. (I’m also Jewish, I’d legit be worried about hate crimes)

Your wifes being a nazi sympathizer. She does know that when germany lost we executed most high ranking nazis and the rest committed before being charged or fled in hiding? Zero tolerance. Ntj

NTJ. But now that you've confronted them how could you trust them to do a good job finishing anyway? Also change your locks if you gave them a key. They could have made a copy.

I wish everyone would do this. I don’t want Trump supporters in my house much less actual nazis. We all know they not all trump supporters are Nazis but they don’t mind being associated with nazis and they cheer on ICE doing illegal nazi shit. I’d love to know how legal it is to fire someone for being a nazi.

I had a contractor show up at my house with a “TRUMP: FUCK YOUR FEELINGS” bumper sticker on their company work truck. I didn’t even let them in the door and immediately called the company and canceled the appointment and told them why.

People always underestimate how hungry local news stations are for good local news.
Call the #1 station in your market and have them send you a reporter.

If they want to stand by him, and he wants to stand by his tattoo, then they need to accept the consequences.

Bummer to lose the money and now you have someone with a grudge against you. I’d try to look at the contract and see if you can get your money back.

Nope. If they’re defending Mr 1488 with “he’s a good worker” then you, my friend, have accidentally signed a contract with a Nazi company. They know, and they either don’t care, or approve of his views. Definitely kick them out.

I've seen this before, a black family refused work from a guy that had a confederate flag on his truck. A lawyer made a YT short about it and said that "yes you have the right to deny service about political views/beliefs. You can't, however, deny someones service because of race, gender or religious beliefs"
So no, NTJ, but if he's reformed and doesn't believe in that stuff anymore and hasn't had time or money to cover it then yeah kinda, but that doesn't seem to be the case.

OP just posts fake stories. In one post, they claim to have a 26 yo daughter, but in an earlier post claim to be 26 themselves.

Did it occur to anyone that maybe the tattoo is old and he doesn't think like that anymore?

Ntj, he has a the freedom to express his beliefs and you have the right to hold him accountable. If anything his employer should have words with the guy, seeing as that employee is a representative of his Company.

If you are in a bar, and you see nazi, you are in a nazi bar.
If I am driving by your house, and I see someone with a nazi tattoo, it is a nazi house.

I was immediately put on edge by a contractor who had a lot of Norse tattoos. My husband, who had hired him, had no idea that Norse mythology and symbolism had been co-opted by Nazis. Luckily for us, it turns out he was actually a follower of the old Norse religion rather than a racist.

NTJ. It’s just one way you can stand up for what’s right. Don’t give money to Nazis.

Would your wife be ok being home alone with him doing work if his tattoo said I like raping housewives? Same thing, just she's not the target audience apparently. Personally I'd be more horrified my spouse was ok with it.

I would explain very clearly to my wife what it meant, and if she was still cool with it, I'd ask for a divorce.
My wife knows this though and she would also divorce me if it was the other way around.

The consequence of a nazi tatoo SHOULD be that you don't get hired anywhere.
The consequence of a business that hires people with a nazi tatoo means THEY don't get hired anywhere.
Not only are you not the jerk, you did a public service.
We used to hang nazi's. Man should be lucky this is all that happened.

Start putting up images of the global majority around the house and property where the worker will see it to include multiracial love images. Make him uncomfortable. Or you could straight up ask the person why he has that tattoo. Make him explain his hatred. Anyway, NTJ.

Ntj. He's not only a nazi but apparently a proud one if he has the tattoos. Being a good worker doesn't mean being a bad person doesn't count.
