But Kirk Soccorso, who worked at the a Home Depot store in New York, insists that his tattoo is not a pledge of allegiance to the vile terrorist militants.
The now unemployed man claims he got the controversial tattoo four years ago when dating a girl named after the Egyptian goddess of nature.
"I feel a little lost," he said. "It was a good paying job.
"I want a chance for my job back."
Soccorso claims he was unaware until recently that the term ISIS was used in referring to Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, currently carrying out atrocities across the two nations within its name.
A spokesman for Home Depot however claims the decision to give Soccorso the sack was not based just on the tattoo.
In a statement, a spokesman said that the decision was taken due to a 'personnel issue'.
