Uhh, is that a falangist tattoo?

Although I think the OG falangist symbol had a yoke as well, and more arrows too.

Definitely not. The 3 arrows are a really common tattoo (in north America at least), and can symbolize anything from the forward direction of time to family and friendship.

It's a tattoo that's so common that pretty much everyone who gets one ascribes their own meaning to it.
