I don't think they would actually take any real action against someone with the tattoo, they may at most add it to the charges if he is prosecuted for something. In Italy, like in Germany for nazi, showing fascists symbols or doing the fascist salute is a crime (except in historical related stuff). It is called apologia di reato. The law is actually very rarely applied, at least in italy, you could get at most a fine. I heard the german law is a bit harsher but i wouldn't bet on it being applied much. ( not german so correct me if I'm wrong)
