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.

MY about me



    Hi I am a highschool student. I am 17 years old. I live in Colorado. I've lived in Colorado my whole life and I love it. I fell in love with body art since elementary school. The first time I saw a tattoo was when I was 5 years old; I thought it was just crazy people who loved art so much they would draw on themselves. Haha I thought it was awesome so I started coloring on myself. As I started growing up I found out every tattoo had a story behind it, a meaning that represented someone without needing to even say a word to them. Ever since that day I  have been fascinated by tattoos. I started looking up different types of  tattoos from Japan, Russia,South America and Africa. And in this blog I plan to write about multiple popular tattoos from different places in the world and what they represent. I hope you guys enjoy my blog.
