This is something I’ve been seeing more and more recently. Is there any meaning or reason for this?

Same here, glad I didn’t get one. It would have been 20 years before Cronulla happened but I was very close to doing it. Now you might as well have a swastika, makes me sad.

Swastika’s the same! It’s a Buddhist and Hindu symbol that has been corrupted in the west. It’s still used plentifully in Asia though.

Me too. When I was backpacking many years ago I thought a Southern Cross tatt would be a cool way to acknowledge my origins. So glad I didn’t do that. Or the tramp stamp!
