Girl Power (meriki)

Scroll to see all 7 Japanese Girl Power tattoo designs

Here we offer 7 different hand-brushed Japanese Girl Power tattoo designs by Master Japanese Calligrapher Eri Takase. For these Girl Power tattoo designs the fonts are different, but the characters and the meaning are the same. So order the style you like - the meaning is the same for each design.

Girl Power in Japanese is 女力 which is read meriki. The Japanese kanji combination meriki meaning "Girl Power" is worn by several stars and is composed of the kanji 女 (read me) meaning "woman; female; girl" and 力 (read riki) meaning "strong; powerful".

The kanji 女 (read me) for "woman" was originally the pictograph of a woman on her knees in supplication. This inspired Ms. Takase to create this original design of a woman standing with her arm raised above her head in defiance.

This art celebrates the physically and mentally strong woman and would make the perfect gift for the athlete or the strong woman on your shopping list.

With your order, you will receive everything you need for the perfect Girl Power in Japanese Tattoo. Your design comes as an Adobe PDF file which means it will print exactly as Master Takase brushed the design and, of course, it includes the line art (also called a stencil) which your tattoo artist must have to properly ink the design.

As soon as your order is placed, you can download your Japanese tattoo design. We also send you an email with instructions should you want to download the design in the future. The Adobe PDF file completely documents the design and contains everything your tattoo artist needs to properly ink the design. Your tattoo artist does not need to know Japanese.
