Ink-redible: Anime-Inspired

Of all the beautiful things in the world - poetry, books, flowers, and tattoos - these are the things that top my list. I'm a romantic; I love beautiful things. I love the sight of soft rain and the smell of wet sand. I love the smell of old books that have become dog-eared over time. I love roses with a nice scent and sunflowers with a beautiful butterfly perched on them. I love seeing beautiful tattoos, especially when they denote meaning or are matching ones that speak of love. Tattoos, when nicely drawn, are perfection in their purest form. Tattoos can mean different things depending on cultures, people, and preferences. In some parts of Africa, tattoos are deeply rooted in their cultures.

Tattoos can mean different things to different people. Some people choose to get a tattoo of their loved ones who they have lost, doing so to keep their memories forever. While others might choose to get one to form a union with their loved ones. Others might draw motivational words to motivate themselves to keep going. Regardless of which one it is, there is no doubt that tattoos are a work of art.

One thing I have realized about tattoos is that the perfect ones are the simple ones. I fell in love with tattoos during my childhood days when I started watching football. The likes of Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Depay, and Neymar, captured my heart. I thought they had the best tattoos until I saw that of Paulo Dybala. Compared to these guys, Dybala’s tattoos are very simple and straightforward- Just two horizontal lines. I don’t know if the tattoo means anything to him, or what inspired him to do that, but I’m glad he did it because it looks so well on him. Another place I saw the same tattoo is on Scott McCall from Teen Wolf.

If I were to get a tattoo for myself, it would definitely be that of my favorite anime character- Itachi from Naruto. If you’re an anime fan, I’m pretty sure nothing would give you more joy than tattooing your favorite anime character. A few days ago, while surfing through the internet, I came across a page on Instagram- Tattoo World for anime lovers. I watched so many cool tattoo videos that if I were to choose one that day, I’d find a hard time doing that. If I were given the chance to choose between Dybala’s simple and yet, creatively beautiful tattoo and that of my favorite anime character, there is a very high chance that I’d go for Dybala’s tattoo.

Have you ever wondered about getting a couple’s tattoo? Well, until this moment, I never thought of getting a matching tattoo with anyone. The thought of getting a matching tattoo with a loved one sounds so romantic. However, when I think about it, I don’t think I have anyone in my life who I’d want to get a matching tattoo with. If I could pull the strings, I’d love to get a matching tattoo with an anime fan. Picture this; you and I are both anime fans. Naturally, as an anime fan, your favorite anime will probably be Naruto. You get a tattoo of Itachi, Kakashi, Madara, Hashirama, or any other cool character, as long as it is beautiful. I’d wake up every day adoring the work of art.
