Anime tattoos

Let your skin tell a story from the anime worlds you love

There’s something timeless about anime–the intense emotion, the sweeping arcs, the way a single frame can stir nostalgia, thrill or quiet understanding. Our anime tattoos capture that same energy, giving you a skin-deep way to stay connected to the characters and universes that shaped you. Whether it’s a fleeting tribute or part of your everyday style, each design invites you to wear your devotion with boldness—or subtlety.

From shōnen legends to shojo memories

Looking to honour your favourite hero, heroines or villains? We've curated a collection that spans genres and generations. They’re not just illustrations—they’re a piece of the narrative, frozen in ink (for now).

Some gravitate toward the grit and action of shōnen icons like Naruto or Luffy, etched with themes of persistence and honour. Others lean into the heartfelt imagery of shojo: think Sailor Moon mid-transformation or Fruits Basket’s poignant symbolism.

And for the dreamers? Ghibli spirits, mystical creatures, and surreal elements from Tokyo Ghoul to Attack on Titan come to life with remarkable detail. If you’re into the cerebral layers of series like Death Note or Evangelion, you’ll find artistic renderings that reflect those complex internal battles too.

Designs that make an emotional mark

You won’t find throwaway clip-art here. Each temporary tattoo is drawn to echo both the visual beauty and emotional tone of its source. Maybe you're after something loud—a battle-scarred warrior mid-attack—or maybe the gentleness of a moonlit scene feels more ‘you’. Either way, we’ve got pieces that fit your aesthetic and your mood.

• Character moments: Striking single-character snapshots packed with emotion—perfect for fans who feel strongly connected to a particular anime identity.
• Manga panels: Gritty, black-and-white linework that brings original manga chapters to life, ideal for worn-in denim vibes or minimalist looks.
• Symbols & crests: Want subtle? The Homunculus emblem, Straw Hat flag or Konoha leaf say plenty without saying too much.
• Scenic immersion: Landscapes drawn straight from pivotal scenes, whether it’s serene countryside or a crumbling city mid-apocalypse.

Every style, every identity

Anime tattoos don’t fit in one box—and neither do you. Whatever your vibe, there’s artwork here that reflects it. Minimalist outlines, soft pastels, layered inks—it’s all part of the visual language of modern anime culture.

Some wear these designs as dainty ankle accents, others go bold on biceps or shoulder blades. Feminine, masculine, unisex—these temporary tattoos slip between traditional labels, letting expression speak louder than expectation.

Looking to channel something darker? Our reaper tattoos also echo anime’s edgier lore. Or if fabled creatures call to you, our Medusa-inspired collection might be just the crossover you didn’t know you needed.

When—and where—to show yours off

Heading to MCM Comic Con or a Zenko festival? Fresh ink amps the whole look. But these aren’t just for cosplay or photoshoots. A small Totoro on your wrist? Love letter to your childhood. The Survey Corps wings across your back? That’s loyalty—but also style.

Consider placing your tattoos:

• Upper arm or thigh: Best for sizing up a scenic layout or hero portrait.
• Wrist or collarbone: Ideal for symbols or quote snippets.
• Shoulder blade: Discreet yet striking placement, especially for floating spirits or anime creatures.

They're waterproof, too—meaning you can keep them on through workouts, beach days or late-night ramen runs.

Match your aesthetic, mix your influences

Your anime passion doesn’t exist in a vacuum. Many fans blend it with other looks—goth, celestial, surreal, traditional. That’s where layering helps. Try pairing a samurai-inspired tattoo with one from our Joker tattoos series for a mix of chaos and order.

Or go full fantasy with witches, familiars and folklore from our fantasy collection. Anime doesn’t always play by the rules—and neither should you.

Your next story is already drawn

With anime tattoos, you choose the moments that moved you—and wear them like armour, memory, or whisper. Whether you’re reliving childhood scenes or tagging along with your latest obsession, there's a tattoo in this collection with your name on it (metaphorically, of course).

Express your fandom without the needle, the commitment, or the worry. Just peel, stick, and smile—you’re already in character 🎭.
