What is the symbolism of the Geisha?

According to Google research, the Geisha is a symbol of "traditional values" in Japanese culture. Gieshas are not seen as women of ill repute as often thought. (Geisha have been confused with the high-class courtesan of the Edo Period known as oiran, from whom they evolved.) The closest English translation of the proper noun "geisha" would be artist/performing artist. They are artisans that train for long periods of time (taking many years of work before becoming a full-fledged geisha), therefor they could, in some sense, symbolize perseverance. There also seems to be a lot of secrecy represented in their lifestyle.

What does severed geisha head symbolize?

A lot of people say that the head is representative of Medusa. I disagree. I have heard two stories; both of which take place in Japan, not Greece. First is the story of a geisha and a monk who fell in love, this was obviously forbidden, and as a display of their enduring love and commitment to each other they chose to be decapitated instead of renouncing their love. My tattoo artist told me that most images of severed geisha heads take place in Fall, because most of the time a geisha would be killed in Fall after a summer of "business."
