Hello everyone! Let's give a warm welcome to the Telegram neo-Nazi Christopher A. Pohlhaus of San Antonio, Texas, better known as "The Hammer". Chris runs a Telegram channel (which we won't name) that spreads openly genocidal and neo-Nazi content almost daily.
1/

CW (racism, slurs, Nazi symbols)
First let's talk about Chris's channel. The Telegram channel he runs has more than 800 followers and regularly glorifies and promotes Hitler, the Nazis, and violence against Jewish people, people of color, queer people, and others.
2/

"The Hammer" also frequently interacts on social media and Telegram with other neo-Nazis who embrace the platform.

This are just several of hundreds of racist and neo-nazi posts on Chris' channel. These also include personal screeds about white supremacy written by Chris himself.

Aside from some clues to his personal life on his channel, such as family roots in Mississippi and Maryland, and that he is a professional tattoo artist, Chris leaves some crumbs across his other social media accounts, such as a Venmo message addressed to Christopher

Chris also has some very distinct tattoos, such as a large horned ram tattooed on his neck. This was very helpful in confirming his identity when we found Chris' Facebook page. Also note Chris loves making his own breads, meads, and ciders.

After some quick google searching we verified that, as he claimed on Telegram, Chris is a tattoo artist. Chris has previously worked for Triumph Tattoo in Louisville, Kentucky and Ritual Addictions Tattoo and Piercing in Glendale, Arizona.

As far as I know these businesses have no current affiliation with Chris and had no knowledge of Chris' neo-Nazi ties, so please show these businesses respect, kindness, and politeness. I only mention them for proof of where Chris has lived.
7/

According to his Facebook and public data, Chris grew up in Maryland and went to highschool in Clinton, Mississippi before joining the Marines. He then lived in Arizona and Kentucky. A dated presumably Linkedin profile confirms much of this.
8/

Currently, Chris seems to work as a Tattoo artist at Creation Tattoo Company in San Antonio, Texas. Chris also appears to live in the area, although we are unsure where.
9/

For a final tiny detail to tie it all together, Chris never stops posting about baking bread and brewing mead/cider, which for anyone else is really cool. Not so much for Nazis... Also note how similar the kitchen looks in all these pictures.
10/

Oh... and did we mention Chris supplemented his income by selling neo-Nazi merch on TeeSpring before his shop got removed? Well ya he did.
11/

Now finally for action items!!!
PLEASE SPREAD THIS and make sure local communities and businesses know of Chris' disgusting neo-Nazi sentiments!!!
Please also reach out POLITELY PATIENTLY AND KINDLY to Creation Tattoo Company to inform them of Chris' affiliations!

You can find their Facebook page here: https://www.facebook.com/CreationTattooCo/ and I can not stress enough, please be kind and polite, because as far as I know, they are unaware of Chris' neo-Nazi affiliations.

also thank you to Long Beach TQILA :-)))))

Also! Any researchers can feel free to message me if they want the name of the channel. My main goal in not mentioning the name of the channel was to avoid giving it any free advertisement.

If you needed any more proof that Chris is a disgusting Nazi, I just found that last week (April 7, 2020) he posted a Tik Tok with video clips from the Christchurch Massacre edited in. The video shows several injured Muslim worshipers being shot in the head. Eat shit Chris.

Hello! Just as a quick update, it appears Chris deleted many of his Hammer Instagram accounts but kept his tattoo account. He changed the username to haus_ink and made it private, but I just want to make everyone, especially people looking at tat artists online, aware :-)

Hi! @jdherrera5 one of your employees at Creation Tattoo Company, Chris Pohlhaus, is a virulent racist and committed neo-Nazi. Just in the past few days he has posted pictures glorifying Hitler and mass shooter Dylann Roof. Is this the image you want for your company?
