The majority of geisha tattoos, however, take on the look of a pin up model. This style tends to exaggerate the feminine curves, red lips and vibrant trappings, it also plays off of the subtle sensuality that geishas are known for.

The colors are normally more subdued, and show the geisha in a traditional setting; for example, she may be dancing, playing a shamisan, or simply fanning herself demurely.

Though there is no set definition to what geisha tattoos may symbolize, it is pretty easy to understand why some may see them as an emblem for elegance, striking beauty and hundreds of years of remarkable artistry.

This practice combined with that of the taikomochi or hokan--performers who were strictly male--and eventually became what we know as the geisha art. During the pinnacle of their popularity, they were often the patrons of shoguns and doymios (high-ranking generals) and sometimes even the concubines of the emperor.

They are taught a wide variety of traditional arts such as the tea ceremony, singing and playing traditional instruments, flower arranging and the proper way to serve alcohol. The most important part of their training is learning traditional dances. As society and technology have advanced, so have the practices of the geisha. Now along with the more traditional arts, geisha are also taught English and computer skills.

These kimonos can have incredibly intricate designs on them; the color and pattern of which changes with the seasons. A geisha's hair is always styled elaborately and up-swept so that the back of the neck is revealed. A perfectly white face and bright red lips give a geisha her striking features.

This artistry hides the fact that until well into the 20th century, poor families sold their daughters to geisha houses (ochaya). These girls would work as maids until it was decided they should be taught the geisha art. Prior to World War II, a geisha's virginity could also be sold when she'd reached what was called "mizu-age."

Odoriko (dancing girls) were people who existed in medieval Japan and are in part responsible for the inclusion of dancing in a geisha's training. Dancing is usually an art restricted to the younger geisha (maiko). Dances such as the Miyako Odori and Cherry Dances have been performed since the 19th century. Second only to a geisha's ability to dance was her playing of an instrument called a shamisen. This three-stringed instrument could be played to either accompany the geisha's own singing or a companion's dance.

If you really want to get wild, incorporate visual ideas from another Tim Curry character--Frank N. Furter from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show."

In this tattoo design, the wind has ruffled her kimono and set some pieces of paper loose, perhaps from the sheaf tucked near her arm.
