Description My first proper submission! The inner circle is based on the Norse Sun Cross flipped around with the dots added inkeeping with traditional hindu swastikas. This has NOTHING to do with Nazism or Nazi ideology, so please dont misunderstand. I just find the simplicity & symmetry of swastikas quite visually beautiful, its a shame that now days it only seems to have negative connotations beacuse of its relationship with sick political ideologies.

Nazi-rific!lol.
But in all seriousness, its nothing like the Swastika used by the Third Reich.
I really like this piece. Its very nicely done and it would make an excellent shoulder tattoo. Rock on dude!

It is that symbol in a different form... the Nazis just used it for their own purposes...
They used the sun cross... that is all....

Actualy this isn't nazi swastik, this was quite long time ago before nazi came.They just took obverse clockwise ant thats how became nazi symbolic. Just like mirrored life. Good and bad.

Wonderfull too bad I would not stand beeing harassed as a nazi every time I go to the beach. The smoothness in this is brilliant and its the best swastika design I have seen in a wery long time. Good job.

Dig the design. You may want to change your description however. Odinism is a part of the White Nationalist culture as well now. And there are other cultures besides the Norse and Hindu that have used the symbol. Either way, I like it.

"I like it alot" - said in the style of Dumb & Dumber hehe

Hey this is excellent... been looking for a swastik tattoo for ages! Not keen on the tribal styles personally but i like how u've incorporated the swastik a lot.
And as for people who see the swastik & think nazi... the symbol originates in Hinduism & represents peace, prosperity & balance. I see these in your piece as well... which is probably partly why i dig it so much

Agreed, looks nice, I myself also enjoy the looks of it, too bad as you said the connotations that go along with the design have a bad rep. i always seem to catch myself drawing them in class but catch myself before someone else can.

This one's really pretty. Very precise and clean.
It would indeed make a great tattoo for people who like tribals with a meaning.
It has a very modern touch, which makes it look a bit like a logo. That's a nice fusion of ancient symbolism and smooth 21st century design.
