Hi,
I stumbled across this forum when i was searching online. I thought this would be the best place to get an answer for my question.
I am heavily tattooed, i know some oppose this and I respect their opinion on that topic. My question is khanda tattoo placement on the body. I have a very large khanda on the front of my thigh, at the time i got this tattoo I did not give placement too much thought, it was a rough time for me and I just did it. My intentions were good but I now wonder if it disrespectful?
I saw a video on youtube where some guy got a khanda on his knees and people said it was not a good place because it touches the ground. Now my tattoo does not touch the ground if i am on my knees, it it on my thigh. In addition to that I also have a khanda and ik onkar right on my chest, covering one whole side. I just really don't want to keep it on my thigh if it is disrespectful... I thought this would be a good place to ask that question. Put aside your views on tattoos in general, I am just wondering if the thigh is a disrespectful place? Worst case I would have to cover it up, but on the other hand is that not more disrespectful to cover it up? Maybe I am over analyzing this... input would be appreciated, thanks.
