‘Having balls’ has been widely accepted as a saying appropriate for all genders and, in actual fact, is a pretty rad compliment to receive, writes Cape {town} Etc’s Robyn Simpson. Flashing your balls? Less rad. Flashing your swastika tatted balls? Disaster.

An Austrian soldier has been arrested after sharing a photo of his swastika tattooed testicle. The 29-year-old posted the photos online after consuming two bottles of whisky, the Kleine Zeitung newspaper reported. He has since been sentenced to 19 months in prison.

Nazi symbols, including swastikas, are banned under Austrian law.

According to the German publication, this is not the first time the man has busted out a testicle, which was tattooed by his brother. Again, the unnamed soldier got a bit loose after a few drinks while on military exercise on September 13, 2019 and dropped his rods.

This is not the Austrian’s first run-in with the law or vile hate symbolism.

Austria’s Radio Kärnten reported that he was also accused of drawing a swastika on a wall at the Wurzenpass bunker museum, a network of tunnels used by the Austrian army during the Cold War. As well as this, he was previously sentenced to two years in prison for causing serious bodily harm in a brawl.
