Disrespect happens only if a weird tattoo is painted with the intention of disrespecting the religion.  What do you think?I saw a news in lankadeepa few days back saying that a Britain deported back to UK for having a tattoo of Buddha on a leg and talking offensively in a disrespectful manner to Buddhism when he was asked about the tattoo. Is it true or a weaved story? As I remember news said it was the 'leg'. I couldn't find the article now.His tattoo was not in a leg. Here it is in his hand as BBC says. However we don't know whether he has another tattoo in his legs.<img src="http://news.bbcimg.co.uk/media/images/66439000/jpg/_66439527_buddha-incident.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Here's his side of story. And I really hope it would be better if officers take a video recorded statement from foreigners in the future when such incidents happen. So the people can see and hear what really happens.Here's the podcast of BBC on that incident. Lots of people think it's not a disrespect to Buddhism.<a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b01r81g1" target="_blank">http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b01r81g1</a>I like to know what you think of religious tattoos. Do you think it's disrespectful to Buddhism?</blockquote>
