Classic Characters

The anthropomorphic mouse you know and love, Mickey was created in 1928. Over his last 100 years, he’s continued to bring joy to children and families. This fun tattoo recreates a scene from Pirates of the Caribbean. We love how flat and 2-D the artist has made the design.

True to Your Heart

A truly gorgeous tattoo of Milan comes from a fan in France. The dots used for shading are a wonderful, subtle touch. Most Disney tattoos are in color, so this black and grey design is a unique choice.

This gorgeous tattoo of Merida with her trusted steed, Angus has a touch of watercolor flair and charm aplenty. We love the vibrant, warm tones chosen for the hair paired with the cool blues and purples given to Angus.

Another one of the watercolor Disney tattoos, this one of Stitch is bursting with color and energy. If you look closely around the perimeter of the tattoo, you’ll find tiny shapes like stars and circles.

If you go digging through the Disney tattoos hashtags on Instagram, you’ll find a ton of tattoos inspired by Beauty and the Beast. This simple, yet handsome tattoo of Chip blowing bubbles is a fine example.

This big tattoo of a little dragon named Mushu from Milan certainly causes joy. Eddie Murphy gave this character so much heart and humor when he voiced Mushu in 1998. We love the blue, smokey whisps incorporated into the design.

Yzma’s Groove

Wow! These before and after images of a portrait of Yzma from The Emperor’s New Groove are stunning. Purple and gold are always a winning color combination. One look at this tattoo and you’ll immediately hear Eartha Kitt‘s voice.

“Oh, this is the night, it’s a beautiful night…” Are you craving spaghetti and meatballs? This tattoo of Lady and the Tramp benefits from smartly applied color and blue, geometric background.

Haunting

This rather creepy design was inspired by Disney’s Haunted Mansion. It’s definitely giving us Edward Gorey vibes and we’re here for that. It’s a good reminder that sometimes simple, black ink is the most effective choice for your Disney tattoos.

Stunning Merida

Um. This portrait of Merida from Brave looks like it was ripped directly from the movie. A highly skilled tattoo artist with a specialty in photorealistic tattoos is to thank for this breathtaking tattoo.

Bouncey and Fun

Wasn’t Tigger from The Adventures of Winnie the Pooh everyone’s childhood fave? We suppose he’s still this adult’s favorite as he’s been turned into a tattoo. Disney fans are really into watercolor Disney tattoos and we can’t blame them for it.

A Cub Who Would be King

Many artists and animators use basic shapes or “base shapes” to help them make characters appear more dimensional. A lot of Disney fans have these shapes incorporated into tattoo designs to show their appreciation for the art of animation. The inclusion of the shapes in this particular tattoo of Simba looks excellent.

Before She Ate that Apple

Again, you’ll see base shapes in this design of Snow White with her animal buddies. This candy-colored tattoo is beaming with energy.

Tale as Old as Time

The stained glass images from Beauty and the Beast have become iconic. This large upper arm tattoo looks just like a pane of glass.

Mickey Pizza

What!? How does one even ask a tattoo artist for this? “Yes, I’d like a tattoo of a slice of pizza, but instead of round pepperoni topping it, I’d like the meat to be shaped like Mickey Mouse.” In this person’s defense, you can get a lot of foods shaped like Mickey Mouse at Disney parks. At Shanghai Disney, there’s a restaurant in Pinnochio Village that offer pizza in the shape, but not cured meat.

Can’t Get Enough Chip

This tattoo really blows… bubbles. We showed you a black ink Chip earlier, but we had to share this colorful design of him with you. Ms. Potts would be so proud.

A Grump

“The very things that hold you down are going to lift you up!” Timothy Mouse assures Dumbo. This very cute tattoo of a flying elephant is what we all need in our lives. The design is expertly shaded, giving Dumbo a smooth look and his rabbit, a textured, cloth-like appearance.  

This Cat’s Grin

We mentioned that people really love Beauty and the Beast tattoos, but we failed to write that the love for BATB is eclipsed by Alice in Wonderland. People truly love this bonkers movie and so many Disney tattoos are inspired by it. This tattoo of the Cheshire cat is one of the best we came across.

Paint with All the Colors of the Wind

This gorgeous portrait of Pocahontas mimics the stylish animation of the film. Pocahontas was voiced by Irene Bedard and her performance left a lasting impression on many children. In 2012, Bedard co-founded a production company called Sleeping Lady Films Waking Giants Productions a “Native American film/television production company dedicated to bringing positive, inspirational stories from Indian Country to the world.”

Belle of the Ball

Not everyone wants an in-your-face tattoo, in fact, some people prefer no face at all. This stunning micro tattoo of Belle from Beauty and the Beast is instantly recognizable thanks to the blue bow and the red rose. According to the person who shared this image, this is a hand-poked design, which makes sense because the details are so fine.

Ariel Stitched

Tattoo artists are obsessed with making tattoos look like anything but them. So many trends today explore new ways of applying tattoos to make them even more interesting. We find a “stitch” tattoo here that looks like it’s been sewn on instead of inked. Find a tattoo artist who shares your point of view and the possibilities are endless.

A Most Magical Place

Take a look at how fine the lines of this tattoo are. We imagine it was applied via a stick and poke method that uses a single needle and a steady hand to make those little details so tiny.

The Enchanted Rose

The Enchanted Rose from Beauty & the Beast is such a touching symbol of love. We find it here, outlined in white ink to make it look like it’s floating. It’s one of the most effective Disney tattoos on this list.

Sir Pilade

One of the more obscure Disney tattoos finds Sir Pilade from The Sword in the Stone tattooed as if he was a patch. This patch tattoo takes on even more meaning if the person with it is also a wine-lover.

Ursula
