Together, they formed the daisho (long and short), the Samurai&#8217;s basic weaponry, which was carried on his left side during times of peace, with the blade pointing upwards. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"568\" height=\"568\" src=\"https:\/\/tattooswin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Japanese-Samurai-Sword-Tattoo-1.jpg\" alt=\"Japanese Samurai Sword Tattoo On Hand\" class=\"wp-image-10306\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tattooswin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Japanese-Samurai-Sword-Tattoo-1.jpg 568w, https:\/\/tattooswin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Japanese-Samurai-Sword-Tattoo-1-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/tattooswin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Japanese-Samurai-Sword-Tattoo-1-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/tattooswin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Japanese-Samurai-Sword-Tattoo-1-65x65.jpg 65w, https:\/\/tattooswin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Japanese-Samurai-Sword-Tattoo-1-220x220.jpg 220w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 568px) 100vw, 568px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"707\" height=\"1014\" src=\"https:\/\/tattooswin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Japanese-Samurai-Sword-Tattoo-2.jpg\" alt=\"Katana Tattoo On Hand\" class=\"wp-image-10307\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tattooswin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Japanese-Samurai-Sword-Tattoo-2.jpg 707w, https:\/\/tattooswin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Japanese-Samurai-Sword-Tattoo-2-209x300.jpg 209w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 707px) 100vw, 707px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/tattooswin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Samurai-2-1.jpg\" alt=\"Japanese Samurai Tattoo On Bicep Of A Man\" class=\"wp-image-10291\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tattooswin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Samurai-2-1.jpg 600w, https:\/\/tattooswin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Samurai-2-1-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/tattooswin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Samurai-2-1-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/tattooswin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Samurai-2-1-65x65.jpg 65w, https:\/\/tattooswin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Samurai-2-1-220x220.jpg 220w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"> Swords and Tattoos <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p> Like any tattoo, the meaning is associated to the what the person believes in.
