Anime Ita-Tattoo Mania

I like the last one lol

Tattoo Nagato looks surprisingly good.

ALL FAIL!!! Except the Nagato one...

I feel sorry for the people that did this to themselves. Anime series are a fed (not anime as a whole!) which means most people won't recognize Inuyahsa or kenshin in 10 years. But that's a minor problem considering the never ending shame the people who did a Mario tattoo will have to live with through their lives...

wow suddnely i feel a lot less creapy for haveing both my legs done with anime tattoos neko asuka,rei,zeruel with the nerv symbol on the left leg and inuyasha,kagome,kikyo,sesshomaru on the right
i cant wait to get lucy with one of her vectors holding narutos head but i have to get the eva tat colored first

The 11'in Lum on my back is smiling at you all...

I'd like to have one with L froM Death note, or the NERV Logo.

I wasn't too surprised to see a Sailor Saturn tattoo among the pics. I thought seriously about getting a Sailor Saturn tattoo, but decided I'd wait a few years and see if I still wanted it. And while I still like the Sailor Moon series, I'm glad I did NOT get the tattoo.

What kinda ticks me off is that the more popular this kinda stuff gets, the more it looses appeal.

I remember a while back (about 7-8 yrs ago) I was thinking about getting a video game sleeve. Now it seems that every "video game geek" has them.

those tattoos are pretty impressive. i liked the zelda stained glass motif tattoo

some of those gotta hurt...man look at detail. Hmm...*spies if photoshoped*

I see my wife! :)

The detail on the one of Haruhi is fantastic...

Not that I would get one myself, but kudos to the artist.

lots og GITS yeah. someone got good taste

I'd marry #16 despite her tattoo. Or maybe because of it, I'm after all, a sorry nerd. Also, 8-bit fighter wins the topic by far.

Really, i'm impressed. , collision repair estimates, medical equipment rental, 4 vinyl horse fence, breast lift south jersey,

11th,23rd,last 1 and the 1st 1 are nice O_O

That one of Eureka really fails.
Fuck, I want an 8 bit tattoo now.

I'm off to find a suitable sprite.

I dislike tattoos, but I HATE otaku tattoos. So... ugh.

That Zelda tatoo is as epic as ever.
Also, Yuki Nagato approved.

Loving most of those. The Haruhi one looks scarily shiney. Still uber awesome though.
The last one is most awesome. Simple, but so cool. Its like the little stars people get. It's not going totally overboard lol.

Notice that the people who get those types of tattoos are fat and unattractive. Not to mention, hairy.
That doesn't work with tattoos.

Tattoos just don't look good on men who have absolutely zero muscle tone.

#23 is amazing. The zelda one. That must have taken ages. But I'm impressed with like 90% of them.

A lot of these are REALLY bad.
Something needs to be designed to fit onto the body, just being a good picture doesn't make it a good tattoo.
But the ones that are good really shine. I especially like the Midori one (20).

"emblazoning the likeness of their favourite character onto their skin in an “ita-tattoo”, in much the same way as a monk might embrace his vow to celibacy, and with much the same effect."

I lol'd.

Aside from liking or not the characters/series/games depicted... dude, WTF with the shitty "art" in 90% of those tattoos?

I mean, if you're going to be marked permanently, at least make sure it is good rendition of your favorite character, not just a mediocre drawing!

I've never really seen the appeal of tattoos in general to tell the truth.

Quite a few wtf ones indeed, though some are impressive (though still crazy). The Zelda one is actually rather nice I have to admit.

Ugh, I really hate tattoos of faces. I prefer a symbolic meaning behind tattoos, although that Zelda/stained glass one looks good. I personally have contemplated getting a Triforce tattoo on my wrist.

The Hayate one is win, as well as the fighter and the Azumanga one.

The Rei's all look fairly terrible though.

That one is particularly cool.

Not something I would do though.
I know that in like 30 years, I would regret it.

If I had a digital camera, I could show mine.

I'd take the Azumanga cat one. Others are kinda meh. Really, inuyasha, what was he thinking. Inuyasha is not cool when you're fourty-year-old office worker.

This is why Japan laughs at foreigners...

I want one of Belldandy, Urd, Skuld and their angels on my back.

Most of these just made me laugh.
Prospective gf/bf repelent if I ever saw it.
I'll stick to showing off my fandom in other geeky ways that don't include permanent ink on my skin

i'd hit it!

Id totally get one but probably nothing big... maybe just a konata on my back...

Just in case anyone couldn't read it, the kanji above the Azumanga cat says "kami" or "God".

Which make is ever more full of lulz.

Wouldn't ita be a prefix?

most look good enough to be tattoos. im talking about the evangelion and GiTS ones and maybe that Ruruoni kenshin one, but the tiger from Hayate no Gotoku? goddamn

When they get old Haruhi's poor face is gonna be saggylishis

When they get old poor Haruhi will be all saggy

I have a full shoulder tattoo with Squall and Rinoa from FFVII, and let me tell you, I love this game for 10 years already, and I dont think I'd want this tattoo ever erased in my life.

And btw, if the pain of "needles lance ink into the subject’s dermis" is agony to you, than you dont know what pain is.
