The SS blood group tattoo was applied, in theory, to all Waffen-SS members, except members of the British Free Corps. It was a small black ink tattoo located on the underside of the left arm, usually near the armpit.
Putting the tattoo on the underside of the upper arm protected it from damage. In theory, you would only lose the tattoo if you lost your entire left arm.
