The Hannya mask





Have you ever seen a Hannya mask? Many people get them tattooed, but few actually look into the history behind them. 

Tattoo by Jared Preslar
The Hannya mask is a Japanese ritual mask used in Noh Theater, representing the soul of a woman who has become a demon due to obsession or jealousy. 

It possesses two sharp bull-like horns, glaring eyes, and a leering mouth split from ear to ear. 


 The Hannya mask is said to be dangerous and demonic, but also sorrowful and tormented displaying the complexity of human emotions. 
 

  When tilted in different angles the mask will show this variety of emotions that it is meant to represent. 

When the actor looks straight forward the mask would look scary or angry, as to where when the mask is tilted down it would appear as though it was crying or full of sorrow.  


Traditional Hannya masks used in plays were hand carved out of wood, and the oldest one dates back to 1558! Different colors/complexions of the masks represent different things. 



If the mask was white or had a light complexion it would represent a woman of high-class. The skin is still white, expressing the jealousy of a noble woman.

 A red mask can represent a woman of lower-class. The red Hannya would be considered half way to complete jealousy-driven insanity.

The deepest red or black mask would represent a woman who has gone completely insane and has converted into a demon.


It is said that a woman will transform into the Hannya when jealous or obsessed, but once a woman turns into the deepest red or black Hannya she will be unable to return to her human form.

Tatt2Away tattoo removal



 Do you have any tattoos that you regret getting? Research shows that about 15% of tattooed people in the US have a tattoo that they regret. And with there being 21,000 + tattoo studios in the United States and little to no regulations in the tattoo industry it’s no surprise! 

The good news is you have options! We have just become an approved center for an awesome tattoo removal system called Tatt2Away. Tatt2Away offers non-laser tattoo removal. With non-laser removal, you benefit in many ways.

The traditional laser removal method pushes the pigment into your body, rather than pulling it out. With Tatt2Away, the pigment is actually pulled out of the skin in the form of a scab. Tatt2Away is also a colorblind removal, meaning that it removes all colors the same. Tatt2Away is also typically cheaper than traditional laser removal as you need a lot less sittings to get rid of that regret tattoo!

Laser removal can not only eat a hole in your wallet, but is very painful. Tatt2Away is similar to getting a tattoo, so it has the same pain/discomfort as getting the tattoo itself. Whether you want to fully remove a tattoo, or partially remove a tattoo so that you can cover it with something awesome, Tatt2Away has got you covered!

Stop living your life with a tattoo that makes you cringe. Stop worrying about that cover-up you want to do that is going to take up WAY more space than you ever anticipated. Start with Tatt2Away!
