4. Lauren Boebert
Lauren Boebert surprised everyone when a random bikini pic revealed a giant tribal tattoo running down her right side. The photo got major heat with comments ranging from “That’s the worst tat I’ve ever seen” to “That’s cultural appropriation.” People found the design’s tribal elements offensive, especially given Boebert’s past advocacy for drilling on Indigenous lands. While it may look cool, most people consider the ink tone-deaf at best.
5. Nancy Mace
Nancy Mace dazzled at a 2023 Gridiron Club event with a backless dress and an unexpected side tattoo. A small inscription under her arm got people talking online, though it’s too blurry to read and usually hidden by her blazer-heavy wardrobe. No one knows what it says. Some joked it might be about Waffle House. Until she reveals the details herself, we’re left to speculate.
6. Pete Hegseth
Despite his conservative politics, Pete Hegseth’s tattoos are bold and proud. He’s shown off his ink online, especially during a July 4th video where his sleeve of patriotic art was on full display. His most controversial piece is a giant Jerusalem Cross on his chest. He also has “Deus vult” on his arm—a Crusader phrase linked by some to white supremacist groups. He says it’s all about his Christian faith. The rest of his tattoos exude US pride, featuring phrases such as “We the People,” 13 stars, a “Join, or Die” snake, and a reversed American flag adorned with an AR-15 underneath. It’s kinda disturbing, really.
