Brian is an 11 year old boy from Zimbabwe. He recently fled Zimbabwe along with his 10 year old friend to South Africa and is living in a refugee camp.
He seems to have the right spirit to survive his ordeal however. The spunky kid carved a tattoo on his arm with a broken matchstick of a Swastika. Now little Brian and his friends have a bit of a twisted interpretation of what a swastika means. To them it means “Germans never surrender” so having one on his arm is kind of a mark of honor and a sign of strength. Good for you Brian. Never surrender!

OK that is fine, the symbol can mean numerous things. It is also a religious symbol in Hinduism, Buddhism and Jainism.I don’t have a problem with the symbol in his context. But as a graphic artist and a history buff I find what has Brian has done to be appalling!!
The poor kid spent two days scratching this thing on his arm and he messed it up! If you are going to permanently scar your body for the rest of your life, please take a little time and do some research before you begin. It is too late for me to help Brian but maybe there is someone else who could benefit from my graphic advice.
Maybe these idiots in New Jersey? http://www.nbcphiladelphia.com/news/weird/Nein-Cake-for-You-Little-Adolph.html

When making a Swastika, one simply needs to remember SS (Which is an abbreviation on Schutzstaffel which means Protective Squadron in German, but don’t think of that just remember SS)
Now to make a proper Swastika, simply think of the Nazi symbol SS. Rotate the first S clockwise 90 degrees and place it on top of the other S. Wallah! You have graphically correct symbol of hate!
Here is a diagram to help you visualize it.

Whether you are painting model airplanes, spray painting your neighbour’s house or carving it onto your forehead, there are no more excuses for inaccuracy. Doing it in the first place proves you are a stupid asshole. No sense in being an ignorant stupid asshole.
