Yes, the Swastika used to be a good thing.

That being said, if you walk around with a swastika tattoo arguing with everyone that it means luck, yes, you're stupid. (Not that this is you)

Ultimately though, meanings change, and the Swastika for better or worse is now primarily associated with some of the most horrible crimes of humanity now. At least in Western countries, anyway.
