Our eco-friendly Great Wave Off Kanagawa semi-permanent fake tattoo showcases one of the most iconic images in Japanese art. The print, which was created by the artist Hokusai in the early nineteenth century, depicts a large wave about to crash down on three small boats. For many, the wave represents the power of nature and the fragility of human life. The small boats caught in its path suggest the vulnerability of those who venture out into the world, and the whitecaps on the wave are often seen as a symbol of death.

You might choose this design to embrace one of those meanings or to highlight something more optimistic. For example, you might choose this Great Wave long-lasting tattoo as a symbol of the cycle with the crashing wave representing birth and death.
