Stranger Things fans warned not to get Eleven tattoo over offensive connotations
Stranger Things fans have been busy enjoying the latest instalment of the Netflix hit show, which returned on May 27, with some people even getting tattoos to match Eleven.But along with all of the excitement, fans have now been given a stark warning against rushing out to get the numerical design.In the Duffer Brothers show, Eleven - who is played by Millie Bobby Brown - has a tattoo which reads 011 on her wrist.It was inked onto her by Dr Martin Brenner, played by Matthew Modine, during her time at the Hawkins National Laboratory.The doctor also gave matching tattoos to the other children he experimented on.Similar wrist tattoos have now been adopted by fans, with photos even being shared on Stranger Things' official Instagram Stories.However, one Twitter user has highlighted the tattoo's negative connotations, saying those given in Stranger Things are reminiscent of tattoos given - often forcefully - to concentration camp prisoners during the Holocaust.They said: "In the holocaust, upon arriving at a concentration/death/work camp, you would get a tattoo like this."It was a process not only so that the Nazi could keep track and records of people, but also to dehumanise people.
