[PADA: Various devotees have told me they are not sure if it is a good idea -- or not -- to have Krishna or other Vedic deities tattooed onto one's body. On the one hand, we take that image with us wherever we go, to the toilet etc. which is not always a clean situation.
On the other hand, having an image of Krishna on one -- reminds one of Krishna or some other deity. Actually, might even -- make it hard to forget Krishna, or other deities. So I am sort of personally mixed on the issue.
Anyway, if this helps makes someone think of Krishna, overall -- it might be a good idea. A devotee told me he got the name of "Krishna" tattooed on himself -- but not for himself, rather so the Yamaduttas will see it and give him some mercy. Hee hee.
Might not be a bad idea, if that works. Tattoos of Krishna will get people to think about Krishna one way or other. So in that sense, whatever works to help folks think of Krishna -- might be the best answer. ys pd]
