Elizabeth warren staffers get what look like holocaust tattoos

Elizabeth Warren's campaign ended last week, and any of her staffers and supporters have been open about their grief. Some, however, may have taken it a step too far.

This morning, Twitter was facepalming at a few former Warren staffers who got matching tattoos. The tattoos read #B7E4CF, which is the Hex color code for Liberty Green, a color used as the theme for the Warren campaign. The tattoos appear handwritten and have been placed on the staffers' inner arm.

If a tattoo that is a combination of handwritten letters and numbers on the arm sounds familiar to you, you're not alone. You're probably thinking of something like this:

That is a holocaust tattoo, a handwritten combination of letters and numbers that appear on the arm. Many were extremely quick to point this out.

The final form of white feminism is accidentally getting a holocaust tattoo for Liz Warren. It’s also the final horsemen of the apocalypse

Okay, 2020 is over. Nobody is going to be able to top “Liz Warren Auschwitz tattoo”. Sorry, folks, thanks for playing. https://t.co/Wl1ilDhzO5

I imagine this tattoo was done in the heat of a very emotional week, perhaps not the time one is thinking of historical context. Given its similarity to Holocaust tattoos, I'd recommend covering it up after it heals, perhaps with a rectangular block in the same color

Working on the Warren campaign was one of the best experiences of my life. Flying in planes, making smoking hot bar graph charts!

That's why I got this tattoo permanently etched onto my body! I'll never regret this! pic.twitter.com/QJQgS8QFPM

Haven’t been on twitter in a few days & log back in to see Warren staffers are getting holocaust tattoos?? Think I’m gonna just slowly walk backwards outta here for another few days, bye

At least some were more charitable than others?

in fairness to the warren staffers, it would have been a really cool tattoo idea if the holocaust hadn't happened

Eventually, Raquel Breternitz, the staffer pictured above, apologized and said she would take steps to modify the tattoo.

Thanks to all who called me on this. I do not want to evoke or make light of the Holocaust. I apologise for missing the mark. I am here to listen and will strive to be better at living in solidarity with my Jewish friends. I'm sorry, and I will take steps to modify the tattoo.
