    Sri Lanka will deport a British tourist for having a tattoo on her arm of
    the Buddha seated on a lotus flower. Naomi Coleman, 37, was arrested
    at Sri Lanka's international airport on Monday. She is currently at a
    centre in the airport waiting for a flight back to the U.K. Airport officials
    told Ms Coleman that her tattoo was disrespectful to Sri Lankan culture.
    Also, a police spokesman said she was arrested for "hurting others'
    religious feelings". Most Sri Lankans are Buddhist and have deep
    respect for images and statues of Buddha. Therefore, they would think
    anyone with a Buddha tattoo is culturally insensitive.

    according to the BBC, three French tourists got prison sentences for
    kissing a Buddha statue, the same year. So, British government website
    warns people who visit Sri Lanka not to pose for photos in front of
    statues of the Buddha.
