Cartoon Character Tattoo

There is a great variety of anime characters. But if you're not a great anime fan, there's some good news for you too. You can get invincible Pocahontas or cute Ariel from the Disney films tattooed in anime style. In addition, anime-styled scientist Rick or narcissistic robot Bender would look bold.

Shortly speaking, if you're into cartoons, the choice is ample.

Dragon Tattoo

Regularly, dragons from comic books or anime are depicted flying through the sky. These mythical creatures can also be accompanied by another cartoon character sitting on its back.

Demon Tattoo

Hardly can you find anything more appropriate for an anime-styled tattoo than a demonic entity. It can be performed in a variety of styles.

But demons in Japanese mythology can be very different from those described by European culture. If the female demon Kijo fits into the usual notions, the demon-cat Bakeneko, Ushi-Oni with the body of a spider and a bull's head may look weird.

An ordinary demon can be tattooed in anime style if you are willing to combine your passion for dark forces and Japanese animation.
