Samurai lucky cat temporary tattoo with lantern

This minimalist samurai lucky cat temporary tattoo combines Japanese maneki-neko tradition with elegant linework in a vertical composition. The M-Long format (10x25cm, roughly envelope-sized) features a seated lucky cat alongside a traditional paper lantern, rendered in clean outlines without shading.

The design uses fine continuous lines to create recognizable Japanese motifs while maintaining visual simplicity. Unlike heavily detailed traditional Japanese tattoos, this minimalist approach offers clear shapes and open space, making it readable from a distance. The vertical layout suits elongated body areas perfectly.

Our plant-based jagua ink penetrates the skin's first layer for a matte, authentic finish that resists water and friction. This natural approach lasts 10 to 15 days, significantly longer than synthetic transfer stickers that fade within 3 to 5 days. The ink develops gradually over 24 to 48 hours for realistic results.

This elongated format works well along the forearm, down the outer calf, or vertically on the ribcage. The 10x25cm dimension also suits the spine or outer thigh for those wanting larger coverage. Good choice if you're testing placement for a future permanent Japanese piece.

Ideal for those drawn to Japanese symbolism—the maneki-neko represents good fortune and prosperity in Japanese culture. Suitable for anyone wanting cultural motifs with modern minimalist execution rather than traditional ornate styling.
