20 Eye-Catching Oni Mask Tattoo Designs

Both as spiritual as they are beautiful, oni masks and hannaya masks are the two main types of Japanese mask tattoos, and serve as one of their more popular styles. Though they may scare some people away, oni masks are very artistic and worn by not only those in Japan, but by people all over the world.

The meaning behind oni masks is rather complex..

Those who sport oni masks, do so to symbolize a belief in the spiritual world, where evil and unjust punishment takes place. While this does sound rather negative, it really isn’t. Oni masks are actually looked at as protectors, who shield those who do good from evil. Maybe this is why the oni mask face is so intimidating, to scare off evil spirits..

Despite the confusing meaning behind them, oni mask tattoos look incredible and are often done as back pieces or arm sleeves. In order to show everyone just how cool they are, we have compiled a list of 20 eye-catching oni mask tattoo designs that we consider to be great.
