THE HANNYA MASK

The Hannya mask.

The Hannya mask originates in Japan, this tattoo has multiple meanings. This mask is used in a lot of plays to represent jealous and vengeful women. This tattoo can range from dark and grey colors to really bright colors. The more colorful the mask the deeper and more violent the emotions run in that person. This mask legend started out with a married couple. The husband would go to work and come back right away he was a faithful man. But his wife still did not trust him at all and one night when her husband went out to be with his friends his wife raged and got so jealous, that she grew horns and grew fangs. Her face was stuck like that forever. Her bright sad eyes showed her suffering and vengeance.  The Hannya mask.
