A photograph purportedly showing Roger Stone — an American political consultant known for spreading various far-fetched political conspiracy theories — with a tattoo of former President Richard Nixon on his back has been circulating online for several years.

The image received renewed attention in March 2017, when it was mentioned in a  New York Times   article about the longtime GOP operative and his possible ties to Russia:

In President Trump’s oft-changing world order, Roger J. Stone Jr., the onetime political consultant and full-time provocateur, has
been one of the few constants — a loyalist and self-proclaimed “dirty trickster” who nurtured the dream of a presidential run by the developer-turned-television-star for 30 years.


But two months into the Trump presidency, Mr. Stone, known for his pinstripe suits, the Nixon tattoo spanning his shoulder blades, and decades of outlandish statements, is under investigation for what would be his dirtiest trick — colluding with the Russians to defeat Hillary Clinton and put his friend in the White House. The picture is real and was captured by photographer Platon and was featured for a profile of the GOP operative published by  The New Yorker in 2008.

Of course he does have a Tricky Dicky Nixon tattoo.  I'm surprised it's not a tramp stamp

Do most people other than hard core progressive leftist liberals really care? Pretty sure that answer is a definite NO!

tRump approval 39.9%, disapproval 55.6%.  Lot's of hard core leftist in the US.

Polls are useless as a reliable source of information as results are solely dependent on those initiating the poll. The value and reliability of polls are a fallacy that many in this country refuse to recognize.

At least he went to an portrait artist as portraits are the hardest tat to pull off.  Kudos to the artist.

I agree-- the quality of the tattoo itself  is excellent. (The character of the bearer of the tattoo . . . not so much!)

I will agree with that. I have seen some really bad ones.

I had thought that when one is arrested, they photo tats.

Not sure at mug shots but I would assume so.

In the prison? Absolutely.

Had to laugh when a judge got pissed of at him and threw out a gag order.

The tat says a lot about his character imo.

Good point.

Of all the things he could've chosen-- why pick a model of sleaziness like Nixon? 

Says a lot about the guy!

Actually it does. He stumbled all over Nixon. As a gofer in many cases but him, Nixon and Trump all have one common denominator.

Roy Cohn.

Because he's the king of sleaze and dirty tricks?

Boy when these ultra-straights fall in love with a power figure the first time, they just don't know how to handle their emotions and go head-over-heels.

I wonder where trump's Putin tattoo is.

He's got his little putin tattoo just above his big fat stinky ass - Putin was here.  Tramp Stamp

And here I thought that was all fake. But it doesn't surprise me that he has a tatto of Nixon on his back.

Talk about a monkey on your back....

Stone's 'Nixon tattoo' is real.  The wearer of that tattoo is a fraud.  Among other things of course.
