Certain pieces of art make an indelible impression on us from the very first moment we see them. Whether it’s the colors, imagery, symbolism, or story behind the piece, art has the remarkable ability to transport us to a different reality. Many people feel this way about Hokusai’s breathtaking work. The Great Wave off Kanagawa, also known as The Great Wave or simply The Wave, is a woodblock print published sometime between 1829 and 1833 as the first print in Hokusai's series Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji.

This Hokusai’s Great Wave adhesive tattoo holds deep symbolism. It is famous for the dynamic movement it contains, showing an enormous wave just before it topples over.
