Anime tattoo
An anime tattoo brings characters, scenes and symbols from Japanese animation, manga and video games onto the skin. It is known for clean outlines, expressive faces and vivid colours, or black and grey treatment in manga style. It is chosen by fans for whom a story or character means something.

What does an anime tattoo look like?
It is based on a drawing faithful to the original: typical character proportions, linework and shading in the style of the series or game. Elements that refer to the character are often added, such as a symbol, weapon or quote. Colour versions tend to be bright, black and grey ones imitate a manga page.
Where on the body does an anime tattoo work best?
A single character fits on the forearm, calf or upper arm, whole scenes suit the thigh, back or a sleeve. Character faces need a certain size so that the eyes and expression stay readable.
Can I bring my own reference?
Yes, the design most often starts from a picture of a character or scene you love. The artist adapts it to the placement and size so that it works as a tattoo, not as a printed image. Send your references through the form below and tell us what atmosphere you want to keep.
How much does an anime tattoo cost?
The price depends on size, amount of colour and the time the piece takes. You will find guide prices by size on our tattoo prices page. The artist will give you an exact price once you send your reference, placement and size through the form below.
