It was “Palm Day” at Pirate Piercing in July, so understandably the gang decided to have their hands tattooed!
The hardworking tattooist behind them all? None other than Marc from Swastika Freak Shop.
It took Marc eight hours to complete all twelve hands, click above for a closer shot of the finished work.
Lucas and his palm controller.
Thanks to Anna for sending these in!

Lucas is from Belgium and i am from Germany.All of us had the swastika tattooed because of its original meaning (wikipedia will help you) and none of us is a racist! Far from that!

I don’t think a lot of people realize that a swastika can mean both things, good and bad.
Most people are just ignorant and don’t know these things.
However, it is not funny, or cute. Find another symbol, Nazi Germany destroyed the real beauty to the swastika.
I know this because my great grandfather was executed in Germany and my family is of the jewish faith.

I wanted a hand tattoo and was told that I couldn’t have one done because it would fade and also I probably wouldn’t find anyone to do it because of the problems with permanency. So what’s the actually true facts on this?

What the hell with Nazi symbols?
some of them are masked as something else, some are straight forward.
Stop being Nazi dumbasses!

A cheap & pathetic way to provoke people, get a swastika tattoo..
you like people to THINK you are a Nazi,& that’s even more pathetic.
thats my opinion.
yes it could mean good things 2.but that’s NOT cool i guess..

How ignorant to say that a symbol that was positive for thousands of years (in many different cultures, the jewish one for example!) can’t be used anymore because of a few years of abuse?What about the christian cross then? Lots of people have it tattooed and far more died in it’s name!

we dont have the swastika tatued because it is cool. what is that for bullshit. we have tatued it that stupid peoples think a little bit about the swastikas. because hittler was a bastard and its not his sign. so save the culture and all behind this sign. open your eyes and bring the respect to al the cultures who use the sign – like the buddhist and hinduist. so when you say everybody who use a swastika is a nazi – maybe than you are the nazi……

The bottom left one with the brain in the lotus is by far my favourite! amzing! I do feel though, even though there is a strong cultural swastika use seperate from the nazi adopting its use, that you would need a very strong reason to get a clockwise swastika (symbolising physical strength, where the counter-clockwise symbolises mental attributes), due to its more recent, highly known nazi adoption.. Just an opinion though. Beautiful none the less!

These hand tats are all beautiful. I hope they all heal well, and don’t fade too badly.

I hate to see this, because the more people see palm tattoos, the more requests I’ll get for them, and the more times I’ll have to explain the impermanency to people.
“But I saw pictures of them on BME!”

He should have gotten the + buttons on the controller in the shape of the nazi symbol

it must be annoying to have to constantly explain to people that your swastika tattoo is not nazi-related
