Welshman Posted October 27, 2005 Share Posted October 27, 2005 The other day, one of my female students (who had her back to me) brushed up her hair to reveal the nape of her neck. There, on the back of her neck just below the hairline, she had a large swastika tattoo. I've seen swastikas on some religious figurines here and especially in Malaysia but does it have a signifance ? Any particular reason she would have such a tattoo?

mumbojumbo Posted October 27, 2005 Share Posted October 27, 2005 Clockwise or conterclockwise legs. In Vietnam the opposite swaztika is a symbol of Peace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunshine Posted October 27, 2005 Share Posted October 27, 2005 They're all over India too. Just about everywhere you look. But as mumbojumbo said they are turned the other way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meom Posted October 27, 2005 Share Posted October 27, 2005 Maybe she just thinks it looks cool. The missus came home one day wearing a big cross that she'd bought on the market. She just thought it looked nice on her and had no idea about the symbolic value some people attach to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
