Chapter 4 The Red Lotus Yaksha (2/2)

Mimi was a prostitute, and she was a wicked person according to Buddhism, or a lustful lascivious woman, and this kind of person should not have the pattern of Bodhisattva, and Bodhisattva would blame the person who drew that tattoo since she would think they had defiled her.

Mimi asked if the Yaksha pattern would be ugly. Would it be nice?

The women always focused on the face score.

I said that nobody would see the tattoo. Since yaksha meant evil, we needed the “embrace” method.

There were five methods to place a tattoo. They were to lift, to drop, to carry, to wind and to embrace.

To lift was to draw the pattern on the shoulder, it was usually the dragon over the shoulder.

To drop was to draw the pattern on the neck, for example, they were Chinese characters, etc.

To carry was to draw the pattern on the four limbs, such as the dragon around the elbow, and the wrist Buddhist ring, etc.

To embrace was a little nasty. With this method, you needed to draw the pattern on the “heart root”.

So what was the heart root? It was one inch above the nipple, and three inches below it.

Or right on the upper breast.

So why would she care, since the tattoo was there?

“ How can’t it be found? Well, where is it?” Mimi asked me.

I pointed at her breast: just here.

“ Oh, my god, I need to pay more attention to its beauty; this will impact my business if it is so ugly.” Mimi was frightened and shocked.

I patted my head, why didn’t I think about that? What was her job? She was just a prostitute, just imagine the situation when her guest would get scared when she took off her clothes once she had the tattoo on her chest?

I scratched my head, saying that this pattern could be a little artistic, and there was one kind of red lotus yaksha, which was very beautiful and it was a bright and brave woman.

Mimi didn’t believe so.

I recalled and thought about the red lotus Yaksha of the Yin and Yang Tattoo, took the pen and very quickly outlined a general appearance, then after painting with some made up details, I gave it to Mimi: take a look first.
