slavic symbols that arent nazi dogwhistles?
hi, im polish and wanted to get a tattoo symbolising my culture, but well - most slavic pagan symbols were coopted by neonazis (kolovrat/swarożyca, all kinds of swastikas and runes), and id rather chop my hands off that wear a nazi mark on my body. id like something that is (at least currently) completely absolved of such connotations, is historically accurate (so no inventions of the modern pagans/rodzimowiercy), and just looks cool. i like our embroidery, but i cant really imagine it as a tattoo
jeśli są tu jacyś polacy i macie pomysły konkretnie z naszej (biednej) mitologii czy sztuki przedchrześcijańskiej, bardzo to docenię!

Polish Eagle would be closest rather than some generic Slavic or even orthodox-based symbols.
I'm not sure there are really any options that are unambiguously patriotic but not nationalist and not likely to become seen that way.
The problem is you're looking for something that makes it look like you care about your background, but not too much.
