I just wondered I recently got a tattoo of a reiki symbol but after reading more into reiki it seems that this might seem a big blasphemous if not maybe a bit egotistical which tbh wasnt ever the intention.
I just wondered what other people thought on here?
Some people belive that the reiki symbols are sacred and secret while others believe that reiki should be shared and that the symbols arent as important as other aspects of reiki!
It wasnt ever my intention for the tattoo to offend anyone and while as far as I know so far it hasnt I worry that it might offend people?
Again just wondered what others views were on this?

Hi Fruity If somebody will ever be offended by your tattoo (...by the way...where did you say it is? ), then that someone will have a problem, not you. The symbols are sacred but not secret. Do what you feel and enjoy the tattoo . With love, Monica

Hi fruity I think it shows great pride in the gift that you share ;D Some people believe that the symbols are secret.......but I have read that they are displayed in many Buddhist Temples......so they can't be that secret ;D love stef

hi fruity,
i personally don't see a problem with it at all. and if anyone does get offended by you proudly emblazoning what was supposedly secret knowledge on your arm... well i suppose it's something that they have to deal with... not you.
;D

Hey I think it's a great idea, and the tattoo looks great. Why would it be a blasphemy to have a Reiki symbol tattooed on one's a** ;D (yes I see it's on your arm but hypothetically speaking) ... love Michael
