Hows a going?

I've got this idea that i've had in my head for quite some time to have as a tattoo. You know that squarish spiral pattern that are printed all around near the lip of certain ramen bowls? Well that pattern i want to have as an armband tattoo. but aside from knowing what i looks like i have no other knowledge about it (and not from lack trying either). Oh i also read somewhere that it is apparently like a ward for keeping away evil spirits while you're eating, i'm not sure how much of that is fact.

First thing i would like to know about this pattern is its name, i've searched high and low for the name to this pattern but to no avail. Second i'd like to know the mythology for this pattern.

I've attached a pic that shows pretty much what im looking for. If you have any knowledge as to the pattern's name or otherwise please let me know.


Thanks.
