tattoos for girls rosary beads image

dAmIAnOO

ok so im thinking about getting a tattoo of the Indian Elephant God -Ganesha
im still researching on it like the meaning of it /what it represents , why people worship it etc...
im not Hindu im Catholic and some people in the tattoo section of YA told me that this might upset and offend some people that are Hindu that i just got it cause it looks cool
ok so these are the pictures that i really like
http://makelight.deviantart.com/art/unfinished-ganesh-mural-26886210
http://satishverma.deviantart.com/art/Shree-Ganesha-83859596
i would want it between my shoulder blades or on my upper arm

i already have a tattoo that i got 2 weeks ago its a huge phoenix which took a total of 9 hours to get done and i paid about 900$ for it
and its on my leg \
now do you think that this might come off as offensive to the Indian and Hindu people ???
i mean i see people getting crosses and girls getting rosary beads on their feet which may not actually mean anything ot them
and if i decide to get this one i will wait maybe like after i get my GED and go to college( i will get my GED in Dec. or Jan. and i will start college probably next year) right now im broke i spent all my savings on that tattoo


ohh and this is gorgeous http://www.eviltattoo.com/tattoos/hindu20.jpg

Answer
Well Ganesh is the god of luck so that would be like a good luck symbol.


Some people would get really upset though, I know this one person didn't vote for Obama just because one of his good luck charms was this little Hindu Monkey God thing that was given to him when he first became a politician. Some people just get really pissed off when there is anything insinuating that their god is not the only one.
