Tamatori Hime Tattoos Look Great As Lower Back Tattoos

By Jenny Cole

Tamatori hime tattoos are so varied and include so many images they can be applied in many areas of the body and in many sizes. The images can also spread over many areas by connecting the images or by drawing one image over a long section of the body. The dragon and its tail can wrap round a limb or the torso,it can also stretch over a long area from side to side or from top to bottom.

The story that gave the Tamatori hime tattoos included dragons,pearls,gods and a brave woman who nearly sacrificed herself for what she saw as the greater good. Therefore there are images of bravery ,sacrifice and fighting with dragons that could be included.

The story is usually fairly constant in what it says but it allows interpretation of how the characters looked and therefore how they were portrayed,originally they were shown in drawings and paintings which would then begin to introduce different interpretations.

The dragon has a basic form that is fairly standard in terms of body shape and head design but this still allows plenty of variation.

They see the sacrifice she was willing to commit for the sake of the greater good,namely rescuing the bead and decide to make her immortal,princess hime. She then became the god for all the pearl divers and of course the focus for the Tamatori hime tattoos.

Different focuses could be the princess in the Tamatori hime tattoos,she is shown swimming or fighting with the dragons. She is often shown as a powerful focus point and as a heroine figure, almost sacrificing herself for what she believed in.

With the princess comes the dragons and various other sea creatures beside. The wearer if using some of these aspects can show more of the story and can have more designs of nature, bravery and of a gallant fight between the human world and the mythical under sea world. The Japanese are famous for having intricate designs of tattoos that tell stories and have many recognisable features.

The wearer then has the chance to say much about themselves with these designs, taking aspects from the Tamatori hime tattoo theme and those of others beside. Taking aspects like wisdom and sacrifice from this legend and then blending it with other stories to say what the wearer wants to say about themselves.

As with all tattoos do research first on the actual designs and the tattooists to see if they are up to the job,especially if you want a highly detailed design done. A detailed drawing will look great when done well but equally will look awful if done badly.
