Firstly, allow me to plead that - whatever the circumstance - to not touch those women who A) Do not have feet and B) Can be seen through. It is through touch, and their attacks that the successfully curse their victims. I heard of the woman in the bloody white kimono, but if there are those of you who run into the Tattoo Priestess, (especially those of you who have been separated from your loved ones by death) PLEASE, PLEASE RUN IN THE OTHER DIRECTION. It is quite easy to lose the ghosts, far easier than losing the monsters. Just run into another room. They cannot follow very far without expending the energy that allows them to be seen by those who have little to none spiritual ability, anyway. If they touch you, they draw out your spirit and with successive touches can-and-will kill you. There are those of us that do not wish to see our fellow prisoners suffer.
Again, do not face them in direct battle - no matter how strong you think you are, you are ill-equipped.
For Bernstein-san, mostly, but for anyone who has experienced the curse tattoos.
Now, for the point of this message.
The Tattooed Priestess is a young woman from the Kuze Shrine in Northern Japan. The shrine and the mansion that is built around it, has long since fallen into disrepair in my world. It was run entirely by women, according to previous research notes, and men were only allowed in during the winter. Presumably to create heirs. In this shrine, it was reported to be a place where one's suffering over the sudden loss of their loved ones could be healed. This was achieved through a Ritual that mixed the blood of the dead (the "Blue Ink") and the blood of the living (the "Red Ink"). The priestess was not allowed to have her own feelings of loss, which is what I believe our... Priestess is rebelling against. There are certain images in her history that lead me to this conclusion.
In any case, she was tattooed from top to toe, selflessly absorbing the pain of others and bearing it for them until they put her to sleep deep in the shrine. This was achieved by staking her to the ground, to keep her from getting up and/or the tattoo from spreading to the eyes (I think). In 99.9% of cases, this tattoo is a blue Snake and Holly tattoo.It is also likely this is what other victims of the curse here have felt - the pain of hands and feet being hammered into at the start of the curse. From what I was able to see, I believe that the snake represents the "pathos for the dead" and the holly is the "love for the dead and pains of the heart."
In my world this is where the story deviates and since it has not seemed to occur here, I will not continue into that, as the tattoos vanish by themselves. It takes approximately three days and nights from the point of impact to fruition of the mark to run through a body. This is characterized by great sadness on the part of the victim, as well as a spiking pain. It may vary for some patients, but the usual reaction is to sleep. As though they were warding off pain, as is the natural reaction in recovery.
I will continue my research and turn to the Bloody White Kimono woman if she is connected too. That happens sometimes, with ghosts.

Is there any way at all to fight her? To stop her?

...Well, there is, but that method isn't available to us here. Right now, anyway. And I don't know if anyone here could make a Camera like Asou-sensei could. But, in any case, using the method is double-edged; if the person uses the camera too long, the ghosts are more attracted to them.
The...[Hesitation marks]
They usually die soon after, from so-called insanity.
