Anime Tattoos in Bangkok
The Japanese culture has made many contributions to tattoo art and styles
Beginning with the elegant Yakuza designs and tattoos influenced by the centuries old woodblock art techniques and aesthetics
Anime designs have become increasingly popular as of late and have emerged onto the tattoo scene creating a movement that even has celebrities getting inked with their favorite characters
If you are interested in possibly adding one of these vibrant pieces to your body art collection, then read on to learn more about what tattoo styles work best for this venture
What is Anime?
Anime is hand drawn or computer animated graphic art content that has colorful characters and epic storylines
Characters tend to have over exaggerated features with big eyes, small noses, and distinctive hair styles
The women generally have large breasts, delicate waistlines, and a unique fashion sense
Anime has distinctive production methods that utilize animation tricks such as intense lighting, dramatic closeups and zoom ins, as well as characteristic facial expressions and fashion
The storytelling is filled with cultural nuances, colorful graphics, complex characters, and engaging plotlines that keep the viewer emotionally involved in the drama
While anime is geared towards audiences of all ages there is some content that is not very kid friendly as they include adult scenarios with nudity, profanity, sexuality, and violence
There is a wide variety of content available especially for adults that ranges from comedy, horror, drama, action, romance, and historical fiction
You may recognize some of the most popular anime features like Dragon Ball Z, Sailor Moon, Naruto, Spirited Away, Yu-Gi-Oh, and Princess Mononoke
The Best Tattoo Styles For Anime Designs
Because of its unique artistic flair and colorful graphics, there are certain tattoo styles that work better than others to translate these on screen characters to a beautiful piece of body art
Neo Traditional Anime Tattoos
One of the best options for anime tattoos is the neo traditional style
This modern 3D aesthetic allows for vibrant color palettes and in depth detail to truly make your tattoo an art piece worthy to be collected
This style is done with detail and shading which creates depth and a 3D effect similar to what you would see on screen while watching one of your favorite anime episodes
It is recommended that if you go with this style, you should choose a larger part of the body as a canvas to allow for more attention to detail and the option for brilliant color usage
Illustrative Anime Tattoos
While this style is quite different than the neo traditional version, it is no less awe inspiring for the anime obsessed
It uses a 2 dimensional sketchy style to achieve a different level of depth
This style is more sleek and less detailed than neo traditional and looks similar to a sketch or a painting
Illustrative anime tattoos can be done with less detail which makes them a perfect choice for anyone who isn’t ready to fully commit to a sleeve, but still wants an amazing anime piece
This style can be done on smaller areas of the body like the hand, foot, or wrist
Japanese Style Anime Tattoos
This style consists of sharp angles, over exaggerated features, rich shapes, and deep colors
This type of tattoo requires a larger area of the body to perfectly execute the in depth details which make it look full and impactful

Celebrities with Anime Tattoos
The masterful storytelling in anime dramas creates an emotional connection between the viewers and the characters in these stories
With some celebrities choosing to etch their favorite characters into the skin as meaningful reminders of the stories that touched or resonated with them
Ariana Grande has Chihiro from “Spirited Away” on her forearm and Eevee from “Pokémon” in black and grey style on the middle of her upper arm
Ruby Rose is rocking two anime tattoos as well
With a colorful neo traditional design of Polly Esther from “Samurai Pizza Cats”
This was the final piece she added to complete the sleeve on her right arm
She also has an Astro Boy tattoo on her right forearm done in illustrative black and grey style
There are also many other subtle designs that can be done to commemorate your love of anime without loudly announcing your anime nerd status to the world
These less obvious tattoos can be obscure symbols associated with your favorite character or series that would be unrecognizable to anyone but your fellow anime geeks
Some of the most popular smaller symbols are the Soot Sprites and No Face from “Spirited Away”
These small and simple tattoo designs can be done on a smaller scale and tattooed on more discreet areas that are easily hidden
