Tomoe(巴) Tattoo Designs

 A tomoe or tomoye (archaic) is a Japanese abstract shape that resembles a comma or the usual form of magatama. It is a common design element in Japanese family crests (kamon, 家紋) and corporate logos, particularly in triplicate whorls known as mitsudomoe. One mitsudomoe variant, the Hidari Gomon, is the traditional symbol of Okinawa. The tomoe is also the symbol of the U.S. Department of Transportation.
