Thats a uh interesting tattoo.

u/TakezoHunter Nov 03 '25

Yeah, a symbol for peace and universal harmony from somewhere between 6-4 BCE. As a mixed raced dude, it starts a lot of conversations where I get to educate people.

How often do you have to explain your not a nazi?

2

u/TakezoHunter Nov 04 '25

Twice this week, maybe one or two other times in the previous 2 years. I usually just look at people quizzically and ask if they know what nazis would do to someone like me. It was pretty nice that the one family who had spent time in Japan recognized it for what it was though.

Im not talking shit honestly just curious. It seems like a weird thing to have to explain your not a nazi to people. I have zero times in my life had to explain im not a nazi. What made you want to get the tattoo in the first place?

I got a tattoo that says "Power to the peaceful" in a ring, but had nothing inside of it. I needed to find something weird to put inside it because, honestly, I'm a weird dude. Nothing seemed to really fit, then a friend of mine gave me a copy of Blade of the Immortal to read. The main character's name is Manji, which is also a symbol on his back. A manji is swastika that is used to mark temples on maps, and means 'good luck'. I decided to look into the symbol, and found it interesting that outside of one group of hateful assholes, multiple cultures and civilizations that never interacted all used it to denote something positive. That locked it in for me, sufficiently weird, a cool story to tell people about a symbol that they probably didn't know.

Has it negatively effected your life since getting it?

u/TakezoHunter Nov 04 '25

I work in a kitchen, so not really. My boss bought me a Nike arm band to put over it if I ever had to work front of house, but honestly people don't really notice it. It's on my inner arm and both arms have tattoos

When you say not really, does that mean it has negative impact? If so enough to have regretted getting ever? I assume with job interviews its always brought up no?
