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.

Q. I want to have a a geisha tattoo that will symbolized my girlfriend.Geisha symbolized as beauty, grace and patience. This really what my girlfriend is so I want to have her as a tattoo. I view geisha as a perfect woman that any man will be very lucky to have her. Just like my girlfriend, I am very lucky to have her and no other woman can replace her in my heart. Is it okay to have this tattoo?
A. On two different levels, yes and no. As far as tattoos go you can get whatever you like and it will have a special meaning to you. I'm sure tons of people will think it's cool also.
On the other hand, there may be people of Japanese decent who will be offended by that exploitation of their culture.
If it's something you really want, make sure you go to a really good artist and make it beautiful, tasteful and respectful to Japanese culture and you should be fine.
