Sakura

Where?

i really can't spell at all. so good night.

ware that is.

there are swastika tiles at the Indiana University Athletic building. pre world war two they were really were every wear.

sakura, thanks for taking the time to respond. holly, she offered to answer any questions, so i asked. i'm not telling her what she should or should not tattoo on her body, or forcing her to explain anything. back off.

you shouldnt have to keep explaining yourself. Whatever reason you got any of your tattoos for is personal to you and none of anyone elses business. You dont tell them what they can and cannot decorate their bodies with so who are they to tell you. Atleast your tattoos are thought out and have some meaning to you not just something thats fashionable right now or picked off the wall of the stuido.

have you read any of the works of Man Woman? steven= i have it was a book given to me to read when i joined the studio. who knew coca cola used the design!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! it was called the gentle swastika???????????? hes a brave dude he must go through this every day lol thanks for your support :)

jujubee= im a pagan and the way iv taught myself is from looking at other cultures. working in a tattoo studio our whole shop is influenced by asian/indian art and when i joined i was really young and seeing all the swastikas here made me thing what the fuck? after sitting down and having a chat with the people id be working with they explained it to me and theres alot of swastika key patterns or ways of drawing the swastika that i find really beautiful. so athough i do not follow a specific religeon i have incorporated it into mine. its not for everyone and i am in no way here to start proclaiming the word of the swastika or to deliberatly try to "convert" you. some people will never except it and i totally understand just no that i am not a bad or nasty person and im not a nazi. my grandad was in the war and when i told him he was uncomfortable but i decorate my body in my way because i dont believe i should love the way other people tell me too. at the end of the day i chose it because i like the design it "speaks" to me if you will lol i find it beautiful. the ones on my upper thigh were called "prison" tatts as if it made them much worse. they look shit because im learning to tattoo lol and i did them myself and there a great way to learn how to do straight lines. im so sorry for giving a massive rant i just wanted to cover all grounds and iv just read the forum posts. i hope that all makes sense

That's what I'm wondering...

ok then... #1 i'm curious about what religious/cultural significance the swastika symbol holds for you, #2 and knowing the history attatched to the swastika and what it means for most people, why you did not choose some other symbol or representation.
