The Force is strong in these incredible Star Wars tattoos. Perhaps the biggest and most fervent fandom around the globe, Star Wars love is evident in the creative ways people are decorating their bodies with fascinating characters and imaginings of the fantastic world that George Lucas created. You’ll find favorites like Leia and Luke and even lesser-known personalities like Chibi Ahsoka on display. Star Wars encompasses sweeping storylines with tons of characters so there’s no shortage of inspiration for fans of the epic to ink up.
Tattoos are the ultimate form of self-expression so it’s no shock that people who feel passionately about Star Wars are requesting tattoos based on the fantasy property. The films and subsequent series have a universal appeal because the main theme is ultimately about fighting for good and finding hidden strength within. It doesn’t hurt that Star Wars features some of the most memorable and lovable characters of all time. Who doesn’t want a Yoda in their life? We decided to take a look around the many Instagram hashtags about this space saga to find 25 excellent Star Wars tattoos that we think you’ll love.
These Star Wars Tattoos Prove That The Force Is as Strong as Ever.
You’ve Got a Yoda Friend
It’s totally acceptable to nerd out. This photorealistic tattoo of everyone’s favorite life coach, Yoda is spectacular. Those wise eyes are truly remarkable.
WUUAHAHHHAAAAAAAAAA!
Chewbacca, the legendary Wookie warrior is a source of plenty of tattoo inspiration. This very simple tattoo proves you don’t have to go all out to show your love for Chewie.
You Never Can Tell
This is the pop culture mashup we didn’t know we needed. The famous dance scene from Pulp Fiction gets a makeover, courtesy of the Dark Side. This tattoo makes it easy to picture Darth Vader and a Storm Trooper booging down to Chuck Berry‘s “You Can Never Tell.”
Boba Fett Portrait
Wow! This breathtaking portrait of Boba Fett uses elements of both watercolor and sketch tattoos to give this design plenty of graphic appeal. The color choices are breathtaking and we’d love to see more of the same!
X-Wing Goodness
Fire up the ol’ laser cannons because the Rebel Alliance has a bone to pick. This very neat tattoo of the starfighter is a charming tribute and a reminder to never lose hope.
Hopeless Darth
While we’re on the topic of hope, you know who’s fresh out of it? Darth Vader. This amazing Vader tattoo is done in an American traditional style complete with the signature banner and lettering.
The Skywalker
Um. How is this Star Wars tattoo real? This truly remarkable tattoo of Luke Skywalker expertly captures the likeness of Mark Hamill. We’re not entirely sure how the tattoo artist pulled this off but it is photorealism at its best.
Sketchy Millennium Falcon
Undoubtedly, that last tattoo of Luke took horrors and multiple sessions to complete. You don’t have to lose hours of your life for a tattoo (unless you’re into that). This minimalist Millennium Falcom is completely charming. Again, we see that Star Wars fans are into the sketch style tattoo trend.
Darth Maul Reimagined
This tattoo of Darth Maul is certainly creative and places him firmly in the fashion you’d find here on Earth. We love the contrast of color between his costume and the deep red. A worthy makeover for this Sith Lord.
Everyone’s Favorite Astromech Droid
Who else was obsessed with R2-D2 as a child? This fine line tattoo done in black and grey ink is a very handsome portrait of that cute little droid.
The Bobble Stormtrooper
How adorable is this Stormtrooper tattoo? We did not know we wanted a bobblehead soldier of the First Order, but apparently, we do! This fun tattoo is complete with armor that reflects the red light of a laser. What a blast!
The Rebel
Rebel girl, you are the queen of my world! This unusual and highly inventive Princess Leia tattoo is everything. Check out all the curvy lines used to create those iconic side-buns.
BB-8 Looking Great
This very cutesy BB-8 droid is a wonderful new addition to the Star Wars universe that first appeared in The Force Awakens. The addition of blue flowers to the design is a very nice touch.
Princess Leia Shutting It Down
After Carrie Fisher‘s death in 2016, there was and continues to be an outpouring of love for the esteemed actor and very talented writer. This tribute to Princess Leia is spot-on and captures her strong, fighting spirit.
Take a Walk on the Dark Side
Someone was feeling a little bit of the Dark Side when they got this tattoo of Kylo Ren’s unusual crossguard lightsaber. The red watercolor effect is so dramatic here that you can almost hear it boot up into that unmistakable hum.
A Cute Baby Yoda
The Mandalorian was a shockingly fun series that premiered on Disney+ in 2019. The show gave us “The Kid” or “Baby Yoda” which is probably the best, most lovable thing that’s ever been imagined. Clearly, the person with this tattoo felt a similar way about the infant Jedi Master.
Chewie!
Here we find Chewie tattooed in a more realistic fashion complete with his signature crossbow, called a bowcaster. We love the way his fur is formed by liquidy shapes.
Chibi Ahsoka Looking Fierce
Ahsoka Tano is a famed hero of the Clone Wars. Star Wars: The Clone Wars was the property’s first foray into weekly TV and animation. This wonderful sketch tattoo design compliments the medium and gives the character so much life.
Floral Fighters
Well, this very large tattoo is just gorgeous. Half of the Millennium Falcon is obscured by the most beautiful floral design. There is a ton of detail on the Falcon which balances out the business of the botanical half.
Pew! Pew! Pew!
The TIE fighter was the unforgettable symbol of the Imperial fleet. Here, we find the fighter bejeweled with pastels, hearts, and sparkles. A very cute take on this enemy ship.
A ‘Tattooine’ Sunset
The desert planet of Tatooine is known for its spectacular double sunsets from twin suns. Here we’re treated to a “tattooine” imagining of the planet’s sky neatly encapsulated and framed by a circle that mimics the shapes of the suns.
Micro Mechs
You can’t help but love the surprising goodness of tiny micro tattoos. We’re delighted to find that BB-8 and R2-D2 are zipping around together on this person’s wrists.
The Ewok Goodness
Ewoks might give Baby Yoda a run for his money in a cuteness contest. The adorable furry bipeds are found natively on the Moon of Endor and we fondly remember their little noises. In this very minimal tattoo, we’re treated to the splendor of the Ewok.
The Kid
We just can’t get enough of Baby Yoda. Here we find the creature enjoying a hot beverage with a glimmer in its eyes. This gorgeous Yoda tattoo has all the trimmings complete with a vibrant rose and pastel, rainbow background.

The Greatest Star Wars Memes of All-Time
25. There’s a Lot to Digest…
The Mandalorian, a live-action television series inside the Star Wars saga, premiered in 2019 and is already two seasons in – with a third season rumored for February 2023 and a fourth season in the works. The events are set five years after the Return of the Jedi era, which would make sense to any avid Star Wars’ fan – at least it has a lot of action for the newcomers.
24. The Different Colored Lightsabers
The three most popular lightsaber colors are green (Luke Skywalker, Yoda), blue (Obi-Wan Kenobi, Anakin Skywalker), and red (Darth Vader, Darth Maul). Green and blue are typically good guys (the light side), while red is reserved for the bad guys (dark side). The colors are created by Kyber crystals and they represent the force of the Jedi behind the lightsaber.
23. The Star Wars’ Community is Passionate
Let’s be honest, we all know the Star Wars’ community is a passionate bunch and when someone walks into their territory with an opinion they don’t like, all hell breaks loose. They’ll start to come out of the woodwork and won’t be shy about their feelings. And if you happen to get yourself in the middle of an argument with a Star Wars’ fan, it’s best to back away slowly.
22. How The Scene Should’ve Gone
We all know how the story goes – Luke Skywalker learns that Darth Vader (who’s actually Anakin Skywalker) is his father. Darth Vader even goes as far as trying to convince Luke to join the dark side. Of course, Luke doesn’t fall for it and he remains a trusted Jedi. I guess peer pressure doesn’t impact all of us because Luke did what Ben Solo (Kylo Ren) couldn’t.
21. It’s Just Jango Now
Mace Windu is a Jedi Master and champion of the Jedi Order who donned an amethyst lightsaber. Between 1999 and 2019, Windu was played by Samuel L. Jackson – the same actor who played Stephen in Django Unchained. That’s what makes it a little ironic when Windu kills a bounty hunter, Jango Fett. I guess it’s a small world, after all – even in the Star Wars universe.
20. The Real Anakin Skywalker
Everyone has their preference when it comes to the Star Wars saga. Some people prefer the animated series, some prefer the trilogies, and some prefer the short films. Of course, we can all agree that the LEGO series is special – unique. For those that agree, I’m sure you can relate to this Star Wars meme. And for those that don’t agree, well – to each their own, I guess.
19. Anakin Took a Turn for the Worse
As a result of the Grand Experiment, which was deemed a failure, Anakin Skywalker was conceived via the Force and destined to help restore balance. Unfortunately, he has a vision of Padme dying and it creates a ripple effect that leads to his joining the dark side. What was supposed to be a positive for the force, actually turned out to be one of their worst nightmares.
18. COVID Has Overstayed Its Welcome
He goes by many names, most notably the Emperor, Darth Sidious, and Sheev Palpatine. He was a Dark Lord of the Sith and Emperor of the Galactic Empire. He’s one of those characters that never seems to go away – which reminds us of the COVID-19 pandemic. With new variants being discovered every few months, who knows if this illness will ever fully leave.
17. Open Fire!
Battle droids play an important role in the Star Wars universe, being utilized in various galaxies – though they often have different names, such as war droids, droid soldiers, or clankers. They’re designed for combat and that’s what we see here– a battle droid signaling to open fire. Of course, this one is Christmas-themed – because why not? Who doesn’t like roasted chestnuts?
16. Execute Order 66
Also known as Clone Protocol 66, Order 66 was a top-secret order from Darth Sidious that deemed all Jedi as traitors to the Galactic Empire – calling for them to be eliminated entirely. The clone troopers were programmed to follow this demand, leading to a large number of deaths. If anyone ever calls for Order 66 against you, chances are you just got yourself into big trouble.
15. When One Door Closes, Another One Opens
Alright, I’m sure we’ve all been there – you forget about the pizza in the oven and before you know it, the pizza is burnt. That’s exactly what happened in this photo, but when one door closes, another one opens. They turned the burnt pizza into the lava scene where Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi fight. It’s the fight that leads to Anakin becoming Darth Vader.
14. The Mandalorian Rules All
Pedro Pascal is an extremely popular actor that has gained a lot of attention for his roles as Oberyn Martell in Game of Thrones and Javier Pena in Narcos. Of course, he’s also the actor that plays The Mandalorian in The Mandalorian. To many Star Wars’ fans, he has become their favorite character in the universe. To be fair, he did bring new life to the franchise, after all.
13. Mace Windu Meets Avatar
This Star Wars meme is pretty funny, but only if you get the joke. The four natural elements are earth, wind, water, and fire – much like in the Avatar: The Last Airbender series. With a little wordplay, you can take Mace Windu and creatively change his name to reflect the four elements – Wateru, Earth, and Fireu. It’s corny, I know, but can we agree that we all at least giggled at it?
12. Is R2D2 a Sith Lord?
There are a multitude of Sith Lords mentioned throughout the Star Wars saga, but the six most notable ones include Darth Bane, Darth Plagueis, Darth Sidious, Darth Maul, Darth Tyranus, and Darth Vader. Of course, there are several theories that Jar Jar and even R2D2 are Sith Lords. There’s no way of confirming this, but we’re allowed to have our suspicions.
11. I’m 18 Now, I’m an Adult!
This meme originated in Star Wars Episode III: Revenge Of The Sith, The Video Game in 2005. A clone trooper was relaying what we are all thinking anytime someone tells us what to do – especially when we’re an adult. Come on, don’t lie, you’ve said something similar when your parents tried to boss you around after you already moved it. Still, you should take their advice.
10. Boba Fett Is Different Than We Imagined
Before the release of The Book of Boba Fett, we didn’t know very much about Boba Fett – other than he was one of the most feared bounty hunters in the entire universe and he was a clone of his father, Jango Fett. Now that we’ve learned a lot more about his life, it’s clear that we had the wrong idea about Boba Fett – he’s still a badass, but now we have a story to go along with it.
9. This Whole Operation Was Your Idea
This meme originated between Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi in Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith, which was released in 2005. Anyone who owns a cat will understand this feeling. They always want to be loved, until someone gives them the love – then they want out. That prompts us to say, “Wait a minute, you’re the one that wanted pets in the first place.”
8. He Doesn’t Get It… And He Never Will
Everyone knows that Anakin Skywalker had a terrible relationship with the Jedi High Council and while he was a representative for Sheev Palpatine, he would never truly earn the rank of Jedi Master. Apparently it’s something that Mace Windu holds over his head – hence the joke. Anakin’s son – Luke Skywalker – would become a Jedi Knight and eventually a Jedi Master.
7. It Can’t Come Soon Enough
Ahsoka is a very popular character that was featured in The Mandalorian and is now getting her very own spin-off series called Ahsoka. The main character will be played by Rosario Dawson and Anakin Skywalker will be played by Hayden Christensen. The new series was announced in December of 2020 and is currently scheduled to be released by Disney+ sometime in 2023.
6. Pray I Don’t Alter It Any Further
This meme originated in Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back, which was released in 1980. Darth Vader was ordering Princess Leia and Chewbacca to be transferred to the ship. One of his comrades disagrees with the notion, which leads Vader to say, “I am altering the deal, pray I don’t alter it any further” – sounds like anyone who has ever made a New Year’s Resolution.
5. Lightsaber > Basic Human Needs
Star Wars’ collectable items are always going to be a hot topic on the market – everyone wants them, but all the good ones are far too expensive for most people to afford. Still, if I have to drop over $300 to get a realistic lightsaber, then I’m going to do it – and I won’t regret it, even if I have other bills that are more important. I’m sure any other Star Wars fan will completely understand.
4. Hello There!
This meme originated in Star Wars: Episode III Revenge Of The Sith in 2007. It’s a famous line spoken with grace by Obi-Wan Kenobi as he prepares to battle General Grievous – who immediately responds by saying, “General Kenobi.” The two exchange some words before Kenobi defeats Grievous – despite his four arms, each of which is equipped with a lightsaber.
3. The Force Needs 5 More Minutes…
Alright, this might be one of the most relatable Star Wars memes on this list. The Force Awakens is the seventh film in the Star Wars saga. The title is a testament to the 10-year hiatus the franchise took between films six and seven, but also the emergence of Rey and Kylo Ren. Of course, sometimes the force needs an extra five minutes before it finally wakes up.
2. R2D2 Has a Filthy Mouth
R2D2 is one of the most popular and beloved characters in the entire Star Wars universe. The astromech droid originally served Padmé Amidala before serving Anakin and Luke Skywalker, respectively. While many people believe he talks through his beeping noises, what they’re scared to admit is that R2D2 actually has a filthy mouth and is constantly being bleeped out.
1. But At Least My Grandson Likes Me!
Anakin Skywalker burns most of the bridges he once built. He gets both of his legs cut off by his best friend, Obi-Wan Kenobi. His wife, Padmé Amidala, loses interest in him once he turns to the dark side. His children, Princess Leia and Luke Skywalker, want to kill him. Above all that, he does have one thing – his grandson, Ben Solo (son of Princess Leia), also known as Kylo Ren.
