Disney Tattoos

As you know, Walt Disney Pictures has produced some of the greatest works of cartoon cinema the world has ever seen, with classic movies such as Alice in Wonderland, Peter Pan, Jungle Book, Lion King and the list goes on and on.

So its not surprising to see the fans of these heartfelt movies, recreating the characters in the form of tattoo designs, proudly inked on the location of their choice to show the world their support of these classic cartoon masterpieces.

Steve's Sleeve of Leaves Ushers in the Fall Season

Earlier this month, I met Steve on the D train, as we headed home to Brooklyn.

He had a veritable panorama of fall foliage on his left arm and he happily shared his autumnal tattoos with us here at Tattoosday.

It only seemed fitting that, as summer has ended, we celebrate the new season with some fall colors.

Behold, Steve's sleeve o' leaves:

The eleven maple leaves on Steve's arm were all inked free hand by Mark Harada at Manhattan's East Side Ink over four sittings.

Steve acknowledges that the leaves changing colors represent a change, and these colorful symbols remind him that change is good.

Happy Autumn to all! And thanks to Steve for sharing his fallen maple leaves with us here on Tattoosday!

Comic Book Tattoos

Whether we are willing to admit it or not, the fact of the matter is, comic books were a prized possession for many youngsters while growing up.

The never ending battle of good vs evil, starring such character as the Hulk, Superman, Batman and a few hundred other highly influential heroes and villains from various comic books.

Not surprisingly, many of these comic book icons have remained with us throughout the years, and many people are representing these characters with the tattoos.

Sara's Psalm Speaks to the Desires of Her Heart

I met Sara on the 36th Street subway platform in Brooklyn last month during the late afternoon rush hour commute.

What can I say? I'm a sucker for words and this tattoo looked poetic:

Sara filled me in. She has three tattoos and this passage "spoke to her". She wanted something religious for her 30th birthday.

This is an excerpt (verse 4) from Psalm 37 in the Bible.

The verse reads "Delight thyself also in the Lord, and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart" [King James Version]. Sara changed the thee and thine to read me and my, respectively, making the verse more personal.

This was tattooed by Alex Franklin at Brooklyn Ink in Bay Ridge. Work from Brooklyn Ink (and much from Alex) can be seen on this Tattoosday label here.

Thanks to Sara for sharing her source of inspiration with us here on Tattoosday!

Cartoon Frog Tattoos

Passionate for frogs and looking to step outside of the traditional tattoo artwork idea? Perhaps consider getting a cartoon inspired tattoo!

These little slimy creatures are sometimes portrayed with a kings crown or other royal items, plus the classic singing and dancing frog with cane and top hat known as Michigan J. Frog by Merrie Melodies, seems to be a fan favorite.
