There are many 'taboo' hand gestures around the world which can be offensive or rude in one country but not mean anything in another. This can be awkward for unsuspecting tourists.
I looked into these various gestures from around the world and created symbols for them using photography. This lead me to create my own series of universal offensive hand gestures complete with instruction manual, symbols and meanings that would mean the same thing around the world to stop people from getting themselves in uncomfortable situations.
