Is it considered cultural appropriation for me to get this tattoo?
What about it?
So basically my dad passed away when I was 13. I want to get my first tattoo as something with some symbolic meaning about my dad.
Before he had me, my dad travelled around the world a lot and he lived in Central/south America for about 10 years. He rode a motorbike and this guy (Kokopelli) is painted on it. He used to wear a necklace with a Kokopelli pendant hanging from it. I never got to talk to him about what it meant to him, but I have done tons of research about the Kokopelli legend and what the symbol represents.
I am an 18 year old white male and Basically I was just wondering if it was considered cultural appropriation for me to have this tattoo.
