Funny..the swastika dates back way before hitler used it and way before neo nazi groups use it today.. it has many meanings, many origins.. hinduism among other eastern religions used it as a symbol.. as a matter of fact up until late 1930's was an insignia for the 45th infantry division..and also a symbol of good luck and spiritual and religous beliefs..

Was he wearing it to offend? probably not, he is entitled to his beliefs, would it have made a difference if he was 46? 56? since his age was pointed out? Would it offend you if a black person shows up with a black panther tat, or a black power tat? or is it ok since they are a minority? Would it be ok if someone had a tat of an opposing polical party? say democrat if your a republican? would that offend you? if NOT then why? why would someones beliefs and their choice to tat it on their body offend someone so badly they would choose to not allow them to be a customer of theirs..
Do you like to be judged on your beliefs? would you like it if customers ask for their money back after talking to you and finding out your policial views? your views on certain subjects? perhaps if he found out you object to his swastika and asked to leave..would you refund his money? would you refund his money if after he showed up he realized you are catholic? baptist? or perhaps don't believe in god? would that be ok and would you refund it? would you not be offended perhaps even hurt and bring that same complaint to the board?
peoples beliefs, views etc have no bearing on any provider in this hobby... we are their to provide a service, not agree with them, not see eye to eye, and most certainly not to judge them.. I don't really see how him having that tat can any way shape form or fashion offend someone.. he didn't express his views.. he wasn't trying to persuade you in any way..hell he probably didn't even bring it up..
the day providers go trying to be the modern day martyr.. by refusing to service and do business with someone based on a tat that leads them to a percieved view point..is the day men gotta start staying clothed.. lol.. geez
what next? I can't suck his dick cuz he has a looney toon tat on him and I believe that leads to childhood violence?
and isn't it ironic that because he might be predjudice against a certain race (soley based off a tat one comes to this conclusion mind you).. she will be predjudice against him and refuse service? Originally Posted by DeAnna Luv

I think you hit it on the nail head sister so I will say no more, but I was going to ask Miss Heather if his other tattoos were gothic, rebel’ish or eclectic like, with yin yang and such?
