What does a Hannya tattoo and Koi Fish tattoo mean?

Q. Besides the jealous lady i think for the hannya what else? And for the koi what does it mean going up and down? I know there are several meanings but whats forsure?

A. When used in tattoos, especially with running water, the koi is meant to symbolize courage and the ability to attain goals and to overcome life's difficulties. When the koi in the tattoo is shown swimming upstream, it can be used to mean that the tattooee is still struggling with his problem, whereas a koi swimming downstream implies that the tattooee has already overcome his difficulty. In other cases, the koi swimming downstream can represent the season of fall, and the koi swimming upstream can represent the spring.

Against the wide-spread opinion Hannya Masks do not have anything to do with the devil or Satan. There is a concept of a hell in the Japanese Buddhism, but Hannyas are terrestrial monsters. Confused human feelings like passion, jealousy or hate can transform women into these dreadful monsters. In some japanese theatre the masks are used in stories for female demons, who can only be released of their inhuman shape over the way to Buddha.


What do you think of Mothers with tattoos?
Q. My father-in-law always is saying that it is not right for mothers to have tattoos. That what am I going to tell me kids when they ask me what the tattoo is?

I totally think he is wrong. Either way I just want to hear everybody opinion.

Thanks!

A. He clearly forgets that women aren't born as mothers ~ we may or may not become them.

When I first discussed getting a tattoo, some self-opinionated woman I didn't even know kept saying "Just imagine how terrible it will look when you're 50 and a grandma". I chose to ignore her as the image-driven idiot she clearly was.

I still intend to have at least two tattoos, which I am working on designing, as they have very personal meanings to me. And I would hope that the man I eventually end up with would be the sort to understand why I have them. As for being a mother with tattoos, I would be proud to explain the reasons to my kids, and anyone else who questions it ~ "I had them done for *me*. Being a mother is only part of my life story".
