A samurai tattoo I’d assume would be to represent all of the characteristics of a Samurai through the “bushido” code which are, loyalty, honor, courage, honesty, strong sense of justice and benevolence. Possibly others I cant recall off the top of my head. So in that respect I’d say it fits a “guardian” role.

I’m sure theres definitely ways to add that in. Look a bit into japanese mythology and folklore especially for things that could represent your children, momotaro and kintaro come to mind, but dig around.
