Namakubi

Namakubi (生首) tattooed by Matt Wisdom on Mick tonight.

A severed head or Namakubi symbolizes courage, strength, dignity, facing mortality with honour, and the impermanence of life, and it can be a frightening warning to onlookers. Excellent subject matter for a traditional Japanese tattoo.

Matt is now taking bookings for September and beyond! Email Matt here, send through a tattoo enquiry or call Melbourne Tattoo Company on 03 9602 2555.
