A geisha is a trained entertainer in Japanese culture. As one of iconic symbols, geisha appears in Japanese tattoos that often feature a geisha girl dressed in colorful traditional kimono. If you have a chance to wander in the streets of Kyoto, you will be fascinated with the iconic beauty of Japanese traditions.
The prefix of the word Geisha “Gei” means art, performance in Japanese and suffix “Sha” means a person. Therefore geisha means a person who performs Japanese traditional arts. A geisha is a professional entertainer who attend guests during meals, banquets, accompanied by traditional Japanese music.
Nowadays, fewer and fewer girls want to become Geishas now due to the rigorous and time-consuming training although there are still geishas found at hotels and restaurants in Japan. Nevertheless, as a part of Japanese culture, geisha still appears in different types of artworks, incl. tattoos. And the Geisha Tattoo becomes an important part of Japanese tattoos.

I like Geisha tattoos, they are very delicate. But as for me they suit not for every woman. Geisha’s were professionally trained women, and their roles were to play music instruments, dance or sing to their male clients. They also had a wealth of knowledge on Japanese history and culture, and so this provided them with something interesting to talk about with their customers. These women had the ability to create a relaxed environment for men while providing them with a constant source of entertainment. What made people start having Geisha tattoos is the idea that these women represent the ideal woman. Geisha are thought to be perfect in every aspect of life since they are sensual, beautiful, well dressed and even well mannered.
History of Geisha tattoos is very exiting and I like to read about it and watch pictures. s.
