Can a Buddhist get a tattoo of the Buddha on his body? Can I have a Buddhist swastika tattooed on my chest?

Yes. The swastika is an ancient Indian religious symbol of good luck. In the Tang Dynasty, Wu Zetian designated the swastika as a right-handed symbol, which is pronounced "wan", meaning "a collection of auspicious virtues". In Buddhism, the swastika is usually written as "swastika". Traditional Chinese tattoos have used this symbol of the word Wan less than the head.

In the Tibetan primitive religion of benjaminism, the swastika (g.yung drung) is a symbol of the "eternal and unchanging", because the Tibetan Buddhism used in the turn of the scripture tube are from the left to the right turn, so all write "swastika". So. You have no problem getting these tattoos.
