1. Sailor Moon is always a solid option
The moon-forehead cat is quite adorable.
2. You're gonna carry that weight
Few characters in fiction are quite as cool as Spike Spiegel. This tattoo does a damn good job of showing why.
3. Spirited Away is a classic
No-face's iconic mask always makes for a great image. It's character design at some wild heights of genius. The little forest creatures from Princess Mononoke also compliment him well.
4. Triple Attack on Titan tats
The color work on this one is pretty wild.
5. This Persona 3 tattoo is insane
Persona 3 is known for its cyborg shadow-hunters, badass heiresses, and genius mixture of Jungian psychology with Japanese slice-of-life anime. Want to hunt your shadows down and save the world? Depth psychology would be so proud!
6. Watch Hunter X Hunter
This anime, featuring killer clowns, genocide, roving bands of lawless thieves, and the most likable protagonist you've ever seen, is really a masterpiece. Any fan of fiction deserves to see it.
7. Naruto Uzumaki is a bit of a goofball
Look at him! Looks like freaking Hamtaro.
8. Majin Buu is a badass
Real tough pink guy right here.
9. The Pirate King's fist
A series older than I am, One Piece is the best-selling manga of all time and probably one of the biggest stories ever to be told in human history.
10. The Original Sailor Moon
Simple, straightforward, quality line work.

He has the Sharingan!
16. Friends turned enemies
Kakashi and Obito, solemn, side by side.

All neatly tied-up and everything.

One on each leg.
20. Dragonball fusion dance!
Goku and Trunks for infinity!
21. This Pokemon tattoo
Arcanine looks great on an arm!

This is my personal favorite. Totoro matryoshka dolls are just clever as hell.
23. Chihiro x Haku
The lost girl and the river spirit united at last.
24. This touching One Piece scene
Back when Ace, Sabo and Luffy all became brothers, and then changed the world, creating the end of the golden age of pirates and opening the door to the 'worst generation'.
25. Transmutation Circle
Fullmetal Alchemist's alchemical roots look great on a back!
26. Studio Ghibli collage
From Spirited Away, to Princess Mononoke and Kiki's Delivery Service, the entire studio's majestic creations are on full display.
27. Gin with the wolf mask
Really nice, right?
28. Tiny Totoro
A minimalist inking behind the ear. Quite creative.
29. Princess Mononoke in action
The fearsome princess in her full wolf attire, in battle mode against the forces of globalism and industrialism! A true hero.
30. Inuyasha in the flesh
If you've ever seen Adult Swim at 5:30 am, those early Sunday mornings, you've seen Inuyasha.

A highly underrated anime, this rose symbol looks great on a knee.
