Do you have any anime tattoos? Do you want more anime tattoos too? Or you don't want an anime tattoo?
| I'm sure this question has been asked before but what are your thoughts on anime tattoos? Do you have any anime tattoos? To add more icing on the cake, what are your reasoning for getting your anime tattoos if you don't mind sharing? If so, what is it of? How many tattoos do you have? If you want to share your anime tattoos, that would be dope. If many other people share, I'll do the same and share my anime tatts as well! If you don't have any anime tattoos, what's the reasoning behind it? Is it because you just don't like ink on your body? Whatever the case may be, please do share so we can discuss. To start things off, I'll begin, I have the following: 1) Rias Gremory - High School DxD - Mixed with some roses to blind in with the tattoo 2) Rem - Re:Zero 3) Alita Battle Angel - Alita Battle Angel 4) Zero Two - Darling in the FranXX 5) Android 18 - Dragon Ball Z 6) Raphtalia - Rising of the Shield Hero 7) 001 - Darling in the FranXX 8) Gremory Symbol - High School DxD *added some additional roses and chains to the leg sleeve to complete my ultimate waifu sleeve. 1) Rias - back in 2013, when I was facing some depression, the anime High School DxD really pulled me out and has helped me ever since, especially Rias. 2) Rem - shows me no matter what, you cannot give up, even if you have a sad, yet happy side. 3) Alita - teaches me to keep on pushing, even in the face of evil. 4) Zero Two - teaches me to live each day as your last. 5) Android 18 - teaches me to give no f**cks and to destroy your enemies but to cherish your family and friends. 6) Raphtalia - shows me that you can recover from great trauma. 7) 001 - shows me that you cannot give up, even when death stares straight in the face. 8) Gremory Symbol - shows me that family must stick together, no matter what. |

I only have one tattoo right now but I have considered getting an Anime one in the future. I think something small and simple would be ideal. Probably put it on my left forearm. Here are some examples of what I’m thinking about.   |
-insert NGE meme here- |
| I'm not into tattoos, so "No, I don't ever plan on getting an anime tattoo. (your vote)" |
 |
| anime tattoos are hella cool. i want an ahegao tattoo someday. |
| I don't know how I feel about having anime characters tattooed, but I do like the more subtle ones, like symbols and such. I have a tattoo of one of the command seals from the fate series. |
| I'm not interested in any kind of tattoos, so I will probably never get an anime tattoo. |
 |
| lol its like branding yourself with the ultimate stigma. why the fuck would anyone do this to themselves? holy fuck |
| Am I a good person? No. But do I try to be better every single day? Also no |
| I don't wanna mock serious stuff like mental health, however when I read edgelord level shenanigans like dustinator1991 said: all of a sudden I no longer have qualms speaking up because it wouldn't be me the one who's belittling depression anyways.1) Rias - back in 2013, when I was facing some depression, the anime High School DxD really pulled me out and has helped me ever since, especially Rias. I'll never grow tired of repeating this: all anime can fix is a self diagnosed condition. I get it: you found your escapist fantasy and you think this helped you, there's literally zero reason to make it sound nobler than it is. As for tats, if you're still committed to hsdxd after almost 10 years then perhaps that is the peak of meaning in your life. I don't see how is it possible, but my failure of immagination isn't a valid argument against anything. Personally I would rather go for something that simply looks cool like whatever the heck is going on Tatsu's back and chest, or also this MizuDLuffy said: i want an ahegao tattoo someday. |
I find tattoos disgusting so I don't plan on having any. Yes.. yes... It doesn't matter if anime have become my number one interest over rock music, basketball and videogames, i won't make an exception, not even for them. i'll concede that i searched on the web for people who actually inked on their skin some of my favorite characters including very recent ones (fast example, Yuugiri from Zombieland Saga and the rest of her idol group), but still absolutely positively want to keep my body without tattoos. Buying t-shirts of the same characters is more than enough. |
(save your time and don't try to comfort when i rant on casual discussion or forum games, feel free to ignore me, i won't take it personally) |

| The only good anime tattoo that you can get is a Homunculus symbol from FMAB cause only that makes sense |
 |
| I don't plan on ever getting a tattoo in general, but if I ever did, it certainly wouldn't be of anything anime-related, or pop culture in general. That stuff is fleeting, and I know I'd deeply regret it later on when I fall out of love with whatever it is that I would have got. Personally I admittedly also consider anime tattoos kind of cringe, but I think everyone's body is their own and what matters isn't the opinion of a stranger but only that it makes the owner happy :) |
| I've been looking for some anime tattoo artists on Instagram but none of them are exactly what I'm looking for. I won't get a tattoo until I find an artist I truly love, especially for an anime tattoo, I think it's really easy to fuck them up compared to other artstyles. Most of the tattoo artists that offer anime art are not based in the UK, and I'm NOT travelling out of the country for a tattoo. Furthermore I'm not even sure what character/series I would get. I was thinking about Vinland Saga or Perfect Blue though. |
| I currently only have one it's unit 01 berserk mode on my right arm. |
 |
| They’re not my cup of tea but it’s fine if others get one, it’s not my body. |
 |
| This is pretty much the endgame of DxD fans. They only watch DxD, watch no other ecchi, but decide to get a DxD tattoo anyway. Blown away tbh |
 |
| wow.. amazing.. OP As for me, when I was obsessed with Berserk, like many, I wanted to get a Brand of Sacrifice one hehe.. but I won't get any tattoos done, they're too permanent for me. I love the art of tattoo-ing and to know the stories behind them though. |
| I currently have one; the neck plugs from Ghost in the Shell (specifically SAC) on the back of my neck. It was an enjoyable experience and I plan on expanding down my back with more plating style port covers. I would like to get other anime themed tattoos but I'm not a fan of just straight up character tattoos so I'll need to think about it |

I got this in May of 2019 btw. Below is the before and after photo of my Rias anime tattoo. Link: https://imgur.com/a/vSp65SM Before:  After:  |

| Anime tattoos are pretty big cringe. |

Tropisch said: Anime tattoos are pretty big cringe. Well, that's an opinion and depends on the person because if the tattoo is done well, I don't think it'll be, "big cringe," you know? |
|
| Where is the option "I don't like tattoos"? I respect people's will to do whatever they want with their bodies, but tattoos are just not for me. |
 |
| Forget about tattoos, I don't understand why people likes hurting themselves. Still, they hold the right to do what they want and I'm not judging that but no tattoos can exist on any part of my body. |
  𝑇𝐼𝑃𝑆 𝐼𝑁 𝐺𝐼𝑁𝑇𝐴𝑀𝐴 - NOT your usual shounen anime - Pure comedy? DEAD WRONG - Treat Gintama as SoL/weekly sitcom especially earlier seasons - Ep 1 & 2 are for manga readers - BIG patience for its 'slow' start |
| If I got one it would need to be simple, like a symbol or something. The symbol on Lilith's mask or a command seal for instance. Nothing intricate that I would regret years later. |

| I never really had any interest in getting any tattoos, but if I did it might end up being something with a connection to anime. But if it ever happens it would be something small and subtle, not just a character's face. That's a bit too on the nose for my taste. Things I'd consider would be for example the Brand of Sacrifice from Berserk or some pirate flag from One Piece. Something along those lines, a symbol or pattern. But most likely I'll never get one, because it's just not something I'm inclined to spend money on. |

| I probably regret this post by now. |
| I probably won't be getting any tattoos in general. If someone has a cool one I'd support that, but I feel like anime tattoos could very easily be cringy. |
  |
No. But if someday they invent animated tattoos I will reconsider it. |
 |
| i'm already conscious enough to not wear anime shirt if i have any in any random place, i hope you guys know that you are good looking already without tattoo. if you hurt yourself near tattoo area it takes longer to heal and prone to infection. |
I think this pic from Fruits Basket would make a good tattoo, but I'm too indecisive to actually choose something that would be on my skin forever. Might change my mind in the future though |
 |
| I personally am not a fan of tattoos, so I never plan to get one. I think getting a tattoo of like a character is a bit weird, but if it's like some symbol or item of significance for a particular anime (like if you got the Joestar birthmark tattooed on your shoulder), then I think that's really neat |

That's awesome!! Do you have a picture of it to share with everyone? |
|
Yes! I have one on my profile but there's paint over it due to cosplay 😅 https://www.instagram.com/p/CD9riCPD3NR/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y= Better shit ha |

| I'm planning to get dabi and maybe, just maybe tomie, I'm not sure about tomie yet |
| I don't have any tattoos, nor am I particularly interested in getting one. |
 This ground is soiled by those before me and their lies. I dare not look up for on me I feel their eyes |

| Got a small brand of sacrifice next to my heart : I really like it so far. One thing that's cool about it is telling about its history to people curious about it, the fondness I had for the manga and its author, the symbol it represents to me... People usually like learning that kind of stuff, it's exotic to many of them ;) Edit : @41413 You're absolutely right, fear not ;p The brand of sacrifice is the mark Guts has (on his neck though), but I won't spoil its origin. Just know what it means to me : Even the darkest of existences is worth living ;) |

| I have none yet but I'll probably get like 2 tattoos Shirou Emiya's Command Seal: and Chika Takami's Mikan Symbol: |
 I wasted all my time in rewatching to the point of my rewatch total is higher than my overall anime total lmao |
| I want to get a five leaf clover and a Joestar star. I dont know where I want to put the first one or where should it really be but the Joestar one is really self explanatory. |

I would never have any character on me but symbols are cool. |

| I like them but change my mind every time and eventually I might do the Japanese or South Korean flag depends on how things end up and if I find a good sexy Asian mf lmao |
