When you think about Japanese artwork, it’s likely that Hokusai’s painting The Great Wave Off Kanagawa comes to mind. This iconic painting is among the most well-known Japanese artworks in the Western world. Created by Hokusai Katsushika in 1831, this image is part of a series of prints that feature various views and perspectives of Mount Fuji. We are proud to showcase this beautiful work in our The Great Wave Off Kanagawa temporary tattoo.
The Great Wave is the most famous of these woodblock prints and is celebrated around the world for the dynamism and power it displays. In this image, we see an enormous wave that seems almost claw-like as it threatens to consume the tiny boats below. The shape of the waves has a menacing quality, which reflects the fear that would have been felt by the people aboard.
This print reminds us of the power of nature and the delicacy of human life. Without a healthy respect for nature, it can consume us completely. The Great Wave is also an enduring symbol of Japan, thanks to its recognition around the world and the iconic depiction of Mount Fuji in the background.
If you are attracted to this painting, you might consider getting it inked on your skin. Our Hokusai’s The Great Wave temporary tattoo is a full-color replication of this important work. It comes in a set of three, so you can try out different placements before getting inked. If you’re looking for a different take on this design, be sure to check out our minimalist variation of The Great Wave.
How To
How To
How do I apply my Tatteco?
Remove the semi-transparent protective sheet and place the tattoo face down on clean, dry skin that is free from oils, lotions or creams.
Press a wet cloth firmly against the backing paper for around 30 seconds, then gently peel the paper away. Allow the tattoo to dry completely before touching it.
How long do temporary tattoos last?
A regular Tatteco lasts 2–5 days on average, although longevity varies depending on the design, placement and how you care for it.
Fine-line designs may fade a little sooner, while tattoos placed on areas with less friction can sometimes last longer.
For the best results, avoid applying your Tatteco to oily areas, places where the skin stretches frequently, or underneath tight-fitting clothing.
Our semi-permanent Tattecos last around 14 days.
How do I remove my Tatteco?
Your tattoo will gradually fade on its own after a few days.
If you would like to remove it sooner, apply rubbing alcohol or baby oil to the tattoo, leave it for around 10 seconds, then gently rub it away with a cloth.
Are Tattecos waterproof?
Yes. You can shower and swim while wearing your Tatteco.
However, avoid scrubbing, rubbing or washing directly over the tattoo, as friction will cause it to fade more quickly.
How can I make my tattoo last longer?
Apply your Tatteco to clean, dry, oil-free skin, ideally on an area that does not stretch or experience too much friction.
Once applied, keep the area clean and avoid excessive rubbing, exfoliation and tight clothing over the tattoo.
