GEISHA – women’s emancipation
a geisha tattoo always has a strong appeal on us
reminds us of the exotic east full of mysteries and wonders ….
but what is the meaning of a geisha’s tattoo?
GEISHA speak of feminine power….
the absurd rumor that Geisha were prostitutes must be thrown in the toilet, with violence, along with those who say that tattooing a geisha is a vulgarity (sorry eh)
a Geisha is anything but a prostitute
she is a symbol of feminism, of all-female revolution, of emancipation
she’s the Eastern suffragette, I’d say
in ancient times and not only, in the East, women were banned from any form of social life
I repeat, BANNED FROM ANY FORM OF SOCIAL LIFE
they
could not go to a bar
could not go out with her friends
could not go to the theater
could not even do theater
the female roles in the plays were played by men wearing female masks (the famous masks of the wrath of jealous women!)
women couldn’t do anything, except cooking and going buy food to cook
at the most, they could only be among themselves , at home, to cook or sew
becoming a Geisha is the first moment in which the oriental woman can take part in the social life, through the entertainment
it is a revolutionary moment
women through the dance and the show have the opportunity to entertain men in the social gathering
IT HAD NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE
why get a Geisha tattoo?
because Geisha is the symbol of female revolution, of female emancipation, a symbol of finally coming out after a subjugation
it’s like raising your head after unfairly having to lower it
the Geisha is also a symbol of great cunning, femininity and knowledge of your own abilities, but also knowledge of the stupidity of man
because that’s how she came out, to conquer the world
the GEISHA tattoo also symbolize of a rather unusual and all-western concept
in fact, we westerners can’t impersonate in the image we have before when we see an eastern face with almond eyes and a different complexion
it is obvious
if we look at the mirror we clearly see different characteristics
placing a Geisha inside a tattoo can lead to the concept of NO RECOGNIZING ONESELF ANYMORE
looking in the mirror and not finding yourself
you can see it as a bad thing because a person or a situation has changed you so much that you don’t even know who you are now or who you were before
maybe you don’t like what you see in the mirror right now and you want to slap yourself
or maybe you didn’t recognize you anymore and you already smacked yourself
sometimes it’s good instead not to recognize yourself,
‘cause maybe you used to be a slacker, and now life has turned you fucking gorgeous
with love, but always irriverent
