Does a Karma tattoo on a mans wrist or forearm represent g*y man?

Question

A group of my g*y friends from farmington hills mi thought it would be awesome to get tattoos in hindu for the word Karma on our forearms or wrist. Kinda of a code between us. We received the idea from some friends down in Atlanta. Has anyone else seen this?

Answer 1

Well I live in MI too. My g*y coworkers and I also wanted a way to express ourselves, but now here is the problem. I am in the Army Reserve, even though the don't ask, don't tell policy is "alive" it is still frowned upon a lot. What we do is if we know we will have liberty or free days off we always make sure we have a Micky Mouse polo. It is just a little thing that we do so when we cross each other in passing we know. The only problem is when we all get together and we all wear the same shirt! haha

A karma tattoo is cool and all, but I don't think it has anything really to do with the lifestyle we live. Although living according to Karma does mean if you do good things good things will happen to you. It is more fun to be bad... *wink*

I would not go with the tattoo I would stick with Mickey, it is easier to take off.

Answer 2

no I haven't and that does not represent g*y men.

Answer 3

I am from DC and have seen this on several g*y men.

I am recently come out and was thinking about doing this myself.  I thinking they decided to use the Karma because there was no buddist symbol for g*y.

I have only seen in on g*y guys who had family then came out.

Answer 4

Don't let the straights know about it.

Answer 5

Awesome idea!!!!  I tired this out as a henna tattoo to make sure that I would like it, and it is great.  I am going next week to get the real thing.  No more hiding in the closet for me!!!

Answer 6

I do not think a karma tattoo on a man forearm is g*y.  I know it.

I do recommend that that reservist listed above keep quiet.  Because I too have a g*y co-worker with that has a karma tattoo and wears pink shirts alot. His outspoke tattoo and pink shirts got him kicked out of the Marines and funny thing is he is married also.  

Answer 7

As a g*y man I have not seen this, but I am on the west coast.  I do enjoy the thought of having a secret way to walk around and know.  Not to say that I am ashamed of who I am but with these George Bush war mongol types aways want to trounce on my natural born feelings.  You cant be to careful.  So I say if wearing a Karma tattoo on your forearm is your groups way to express I am for it.  So be proud but it is ok to express your self silently, because I am a Diva and I don't need the competitions.  You got me Honey....  Slim
