that one there doesn't really tickle me though

We get it Nesbit, jeez

Unless you're Edward Norton in American History X, there is never a need for a swastika.

There's never a need, but quite often people who get swastikas do it not in order to be offensive, but to attempt to reclaim the symbol from the Nazis.

Personally, I agree with you - I don't think it's a good enough symbol to require reclamation by the tattooed, and I think any attempt to do so will be inherently muddied by its context - but it's almost never a straight up homage to racism.

unless you're one of the many Hindu's who still use it for it originally intended meaning.

that ain't a swastica though, it's the other way round.

That symbol has been discussed in this thread quite a few times.
