Hi I am considering having an ek on kar tattoo on my arm. I am a sikh guy who believes there is nothing wrong in doing this however some of my friends think that this is a bad idea. As it could show disrespect. Can you please advise me on this, is it wrong to have ek on kar tattooed on my arm?

Well, you are injecting ink into your skin and body and what are you trying to prove? Does it make you think of God and encourage you to sing Gurbani and do your nitnem and live in your form?

Probably it is a cool thing to do that your peers are doing.Then you are a follower in some material emptyness.

Best to be a leader.....rather than a follower. Lead your peer to be righteous and bright and serve the good in all life.
