But others look like a slender man or a woman?

Is it bad luck to buy yourself a laughing Buddha statue? I’ve been told it is, and also that it isnt… I have several (i havent bought any lol)
If its bad luck to buy a laughing Buddha statue, would it be bad luck to get a tattoo of the laughing Buddha?

i just recently noticed that some buddha statues have swastika’s and wondered how come, and if there has ever been any outrage regarding that or anything?

Can you ask Laughing Buddha for help or make a wish to him?
Also, If in different statues he is holding different items, do those statues represent different things?
