An actual flag is anything that represents our flag. ANYTHING... Did you read the code thoroughly? It has language to shoot your comprehension to hell. Why not talk to a Color Guard?
§ 3. Use of flag for advertising purposes; mutilation of flag
The words 'flag, standard, colors, or ensign', as used herein, shall include any flag, standard, colors, ensign, or any picture or representation of either, or of any part or parts of either, made of any substance or represented on any substance, of any size evidently purporting to be either of said flag, standard, colors, or ensign of the United States of America or a picture or a representation of either, upon which shall be shown the colors, the stars and the stripes, in any number of either thereof, or of any part or parts of either, by which the average person seeing the same without deliberation may believe the same to represent the flag, colors, standard, or ensign of the United States of America.
Let me explain the paragraph above. The word FLAG used in the code INCLUDES any flag, ANY PICTURE or representation, MADE OF ANY SUBSTANCE OR REPRESENTED ON ANY SUBSTANCE... Of ANY SIZE. Which the average person seeing believe it to REPRESENT THE FLAG.
A tattoo on the back of someone of the flag is a representation of the flag. Do you believe that tattoo represents the US flag? Of course it does.
The truth is irrefutable.
