The Tamatori hime tattoos are very popular across many countries and through many culture,the meaning and reason for wearing them are often similar though.
The legend states she cut her self open in order to store the bead and therefore speed up her swim. She did reach the shore but subsequently died of her self inflicted injuries,falling to her own desperation and greed. The variations on the legend expand the story and say how hime was a pearl diver and was trying to retrieve the bead which had been dropped into the lake by the Chinese emperor,the bead being a gift for his Japanese equivalent.
Hime hears this and decides to rescue the bead,the problem being that the dragons of the lake believe what ever falls in the lake is rightfully theirs so not surprisingly they attack hime as she tries to swim free.
Knowing that the dragons are forbidden from attacking a carcass she cuts herself to virtual death and hides the pearl within her body. As she starts to die she signals for her husband to pull her up on the rope she is attached to. She begins to slip away when back in her husbands arms but is saved by the watching gods.
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.
In order to make the most of the images they can also be split up over the body in smaller designs. Maybe on opposite shoulders, opposite arms or on other areas such as the feet.
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 always do your research on both the designs and the person who will apply the designs. Study the characters for their meanings and history and then design your image,with work you could end up with a special and striking design. - 16738
