i think the tatoo-ist who wrote Heart sutra will get good karma for recited it.

Nope... it's part of the 32 Major Marks and 80 Minor Marks - physical characters of the Buddha and the universal monarch. It is "natural" so that say - not artificially made.Originally posted by NT2:i saw buddhist images whereby a swastika is tatooed on the chests...so i guess its ok to do likewise
My Master Shen Kai also had the Swastika on his chest. I'm not sure whether he got explained before. But it's not his tattoo or carving. Another Master that I know have a Swastika on his chest is Ven. Hsuan Hua:
