Movie tattoos

Wear your favourite films on your skin 🎬

There are some films that stay with us. A line of dialogue, a sweeping score, the silhouette of a hero — it all lingers. Our movie tattoos collection is made for film lovers who feel those emotions deeply, who want to carry a spark of that reel magic with them each day. From subtle symbols to dramatic portraits, these temporary tattoos let you express your cinematic heart, no strings — or needles — attached.

More than a tattoo — it’s a tribute

Film is memory. Film is identity. Whether it’s the quiet strength of a Studio Ghibli heroine or the dark charm of the Joker, movie tattoos become more than decoration — they’re emblems of passion, nostalgia, and personal meaning.

Some wear them as quiet nods to childhood favourites, while others go bold with full-scene recreations. There’s no right way to honour what moves you. The beauty lies in the story you decide to tell.

Styles worth binge-watching

Our designs span eras, genres and textures. Want a taste?

• Symbolic & minimal: Instantly recognisable shapes — a bat soaring across the moon, the Elder Wand’s quiet power — that speak volumes in small designs.
• Vivid & cinematic: Full-colour graphics that leap off your skin. Think glittering shots of animated wonder or superhero epics at their most electric.
• Sketch-style & vintage tones: For lovers of black-and-grey aesthetics, these shadows and lineworks are subtle but rich with storytelling.
• Character-centric illustrations: Hand-drawn portraits of your favourite icons (we see you, Iron Man fans) that preserve the essence without going full realism.

If you’re drawn to the darker, poetic side of storytelling, you might also fall in love with our dark tattoos or the moody aesthetic of gothic designs.

What these tattoos whisper underneath the surface

Every design carries meaning. A snowflake, dainty and fleeting, echoes Frozen's themes of transformation. A delicate TARDIS tucked on your collarbone speaks to endless curiosity and a lust for adventure. Some choose forest backdrops from Lord of the Rings to ground them. Others find solace in the sacred geometry of a mandala, echoing the mysticism of Doctor Strange.

And then there’s the Joker’s chaotic grin — playful but dangerous — perfect for expressing a bit of rebellion. Those intrigued by this edge may enjoy exploring our Joker tattoos and mask designs.

Let the seasons set the scene

Some tattoos just feel right in certain moments. Summertime calls for sleeves of radiant colour — think waves and warm palettes from your favourite beach-set films. Autumn, however, leans into mystery. Our devil tattoos and spooky silhouettes from cult classics lend themselves beautifully to Halloween styling — perfect for collarbones, necks or ribcages layered beneath sheer fabric.

Where to wear your film fandom

Placement transforms a design from costume to poetry. Large scenes — sweeping space battles, enchanted forests, crowded cityscapes — belong on the back, thigh or forearm, where they can breathe. Tiny references, like a Hogwarts letter or Eiffel Tower from a Parisian romance, belong in liminal spaces: wrists, ankles, behind the ear. These are the quiet whispers of your cinematic self.

Need something playful for your next cosplay or festival? Our witty tributes — from animated villains to retro sci-fi — might make you giggle. You’ll find even more brilliance in our funny tattoos gallery.

Because the films we love live in us

Your favourite quote. A shadowy frame frozen in your mind. These tattoos help you carry that energy outward. Immortalise those words that hit like poetry — “May the Force be with you” or “Just keep swimming”. Pay tribute to misunderstood antiheroes or celebrate the bravery of animated heroines who never gave up.

Anime tattoos offer another realm of rich creative expression, perfect for those who want to take a different cinematic path.

Tattoo stories, temporarily told

Every tattoo in this collection is temporary yet full of permanence in the way it makes you feel. At Temporalis, we craft each piece with intention — vegan, skin-safe materials; waterproof finishes; nuanced, artist-designed illustrations. Because we get it — you don’t just wear a sticker. You’re stepping into a role. A feeling. A scene written across your skin.

It’s not just ink — it’s cinema, in all its drama, wonder and glory. Ready to find the one that moves you?
