I don't think it's going to be received well through the public. It is a very popular/distinguished symbol and most people will instantly refer to the Nazi's. What kind of Buddhist are you?? I was going to get the Dharma Wheel or an enso. I don't know. Maybe if you don't tilt the symbol to the side like the Nazi did. and kept it sqaure on it's bottom, instead of a diamond.

You should definately let a few people see before you get it.

Im a Vietnamese Buddhist, which closely ties with the Chinese version of Buddhism and all of the older male family members have a small swastika tattooed on their arms when they were fighting the Vietnam War. inspired by that, i wanted to get it done on the right side upper chest since i do want it somewhat concealed *only time people will probably see it is when i take off my shirt*

im actually considering to change the design to make the swastika out of bamboo *no color still*

and yeah...no tilting of the symbol :teeth....thats one of the main distinguishes of the Nazi swastika

thanks for your opinions folks...and keep it coming...i want to see what everyone thinks
 
Done at Inky Cells in Santa Rosa......Thanks Dana :thumbup

There has been a nice green added around the lion but I don't have a pic of that.

hmm the bamboo idea may actually help.. MAYBE you should draw it out and post a new thread without any mention of this or description and see how people react to it.. but stay with what you believe in.

I got 2:
Tat1.jpg
Tat2.jpg

Crappy cell camera. The first is from when I was 18, and the color is lacking. Partially my fault, as I don't cover them, partly cause it's been 12 years.

2nd is from when my son was born. I wanted a symbolistic pic of mother and child, without a flash woman. Too bad the kids hands look like something water-fowl related. :thumbdown
