Looks like a pretty standard Thor's Hammer inside a shield. Now I have to go bleach my eyes (and hope some of it gets into my brain too).

Something from his days as an USAF parachute jumper.

Does it mean anything? A group or something like that?

It's a pretty popular neo-pagan symbol, and it's also one of the the most commonly found categories of jewelry from the pre-Christian era in Northern Europe. It's also close enough to a cross that its use continued for some time after most people in those areas (British Isles, Scandinavia, Northern Germany, etc...) were converted. Judging by the (lack of) historical accuracy of the sword in the picture, I'm guessing it's a neo-pagan thing, rather than being for reenactment in this case. Ugh.

Thanks, jazzz. I was googling around and it looks like it could be racist/neo-nazi too. Ugh is right.

That makes sense with Hitler's obsession with Norse mythology.

I hope I'm not the only one who thought it was a bird's eye of the Negh'var Klingon Battleship.

in a moment of naivete, thought I'd figure out the tatoo by GISing dungeons and dragons tatoo.

...No such luck..
but I did find a couple new avatars for Heyzeus.
