Unfathomable... Tattooing a Swastika on your Face

[badcompany]

Having a skinhead, being unshaven and being scruffy means they can't possibly do the job?

Shaving, wearing a suit or smarth clothes and not shaving your hair somehow makes you better?

It does in this fickle world we live in, sad isn't it.

Stop judging people you know nothing about.

Quote me where I made any judgement other than surely she must be intelligent enough to realise the impact this would have on almost every conceivable facet of her life?

Pretty sure a facial tattoo of a swastika is an outward statement of her beliefs, judgement is acceptable. If I walked around in a Nazi uniform I'd expect to be judged for it.

I think though, despite it being abused, anyone looking at it isn't going to associate it with Hinduism.

That would equally be an indication of the ignorance of the person viewing who thinks that every swastika is Nazi or that they invented it. Having said that, regardless of whether it was the religious reason or not, I wouldn't have a tattoo of any sort on my face. (actually I wouldn't have a tattoo of any sort any where on me )

I'm sure she realised that impact and took the decision anyway. If she moves within fascist circles it's not really an issue for her.

She is so stupid, she can never do a crime now without being found out easily. Not many people with swasticas on their faces.

Remind me why we let these kind of people live, we should just do what the spartans did with unwanted children.

I didn't realise we had intel on how it got there.

What kind of people?

One day she woke up and the tattoo fairy had visited her.

I feel that explanation is suitable to the level of debate you're pursuing.

who says it's a tatoo, did he get close enough to inspect it.

It could be a stunt like Richard Herring did with the pencil moustache. Or numoures other things.

What else could it have been?

(Genuine question, not giving attitude here.)

*sigh* whether or not it is a permanent tattoo or not is irrelevant - it's a swastika. A temporary swastika is somehow intrinsically more socially acceptable than a permanent one?

In this society a swastika is a mark of Nazism/xenophobia/National Front etc and this is common knowledge. The permanence of the mark is a triviality, what it symbolises is the point.

stencil, non permanent tatoo.

A spider who had been in a fight and lost some legs

Just like the Richard Hearing stunt. everyone knows it as a Hitler moustache.

That would be racism if I was mention who I was thinking about, I am not letting that slip into a conversation of this high intelluctual caliber.
Let's just call them the people.

It might be to you , I on the other hand pay attention to the type and facing of the swastika before I make any affiliations

Thinking of getting one yourself then?

I can see where this thread is going already and I'm not too interested in following it through. I will say:

If it is a Nazi swastika than of course she realises its implications and offence. It is there to advertise her views, to exhibit her confidence in her beliefs, to gain support from the likeminded and to directly offend those who oppose it.

If she moves within fascist/alternative circles and participates in extreme art, music, performance, tattooing etc etc getting money/employment and peers is not hard at all.

It certainly looks like she succeeded in making an impression because the OP went home and started a thread on her, musing about who she is, her life, interests, thought processes, beliefs and here we all are talking about it. She has suceeded 100% in her aim to make an impression through the displaying of one symbol. One tiny symbol. One up for her.

I suppose that would reduce most of my interest in the subject (just the sheer permanence of pariah status), but is it possible to tell other than through asking the person?
