#1 - Fall Out Video Game

Do you like video games? Do you specifically like the video game Fall Out? If you do, this may be a perfect tattoo for you. If you have or can find a good tattoo artist that works with color well, this tattoo will look amazing. It even features the Nuk-a-cola from the video game, which adds to the novelty of the design. Of course, you can always ask for different things that are in the source material as far as customization goes, but with this tattoo, there really seems to be no reason for that. There is so much going on in this tattoo in one small space that it is jampacked with goodness. The colored shading on the cola bottle really adds to the effect of the Fall Out aesthetic. A red radiation glow fits perfectly with the design.

This piece is so large that it can easily be used for another section of the body such as the thigh, calf, or upper arm. It would still make sense and fit incredibly well in those areas of the body. That is another nice attribute of this design is its versatility due to its size. It is able to fit comfortably on the forearm but also can be used to fill bigger spaces on the body as well. You also get the added benefit of personality shining through on the specific design if you like to play poker. If you don’t play poker I’m sure your artist can omit that portion of the design. If you do play the game, however, this tattoo is seriously tailor-made for you.

#2 - Mars Attacks Movie

Do you remember that scene from the movie Mars Attacks? No, of course, you don’t. You’re too young. Well, I’m here to chew bubblegum and kick ass and I’m all out of bubblegum. This tattoo is simply fantastic. It references the movie Mars Attacks. If you haven’t watched this movie, maybe you should go give it a look because you will surely fall in love with it. Aliens attempt to take over the world and it’s one man’s job to stand in their way. Who knows, maybe you will love it so much that you will want to get a tattoo referencing the movie on your forearm. On the other hand, if you already know the movie and you already love it, this may be the best tattoo you will see in a while. Not only is this tattoo from a cult classic movie, but it also looks incredibly cool. The way that the brain of the alien blends into the skull face looks so metal. This is for sure a must-have tattoo on the forearm of any man that has admiration for this movie.

The next step now is to add the protagonist from the movie onto the other arm so it looks like they are in a permanent stand off. Maybe add in some bubble gum somewhere and this could turn into a full sleeve. I’m just saying.

#3 - Pokémon Tattoo

Everyone loves Pokémon. How could you not? Come on be honest you can’t look at this tattoo and not tell me that it is cute. I simply don’t care how much of a man you think you are. This here is a clean little tattoo and if you are a lover of anime, then I design like this is certainly for you. The colors are beautiful and fit well on many different types of skin tones. Plus, if you like naps, this will show a little bit of personality through your artwork more so than even just having a love for anime.

Just to be clear, this is a Blue Umbreon Pokemon. yes, I did have to do a little bit of research to find that out because I personally haven’t watched that much of the show. Do you remember the simpler days back when it was on GameBoy color and you could actually catch them all? Now there are over 1,000 pokemon in total. That is simply too much of anything to remember, so good thing we have google and the internet.

#4 - Elemental Paws

That was a nice segue into the next tattoo. If you’re a cat lover, this tattoo fits you perfectly. Even if you’re not a cat lover and you like dogs more you can still make this into something that makes sense. All you have to do is change the cat paws into dog paws, and the cat whiskers in the middle into a dog’s head with ears. The implementation of the elementals is a beautiful way to add some artistic outlooks and ideals into a usually unrelated topic. The best part about this tattoo is that it can be both for males and females in a traditional sense.

Do you know who this is perfect for? This tattoo is absolutely made for people with cats that light incense in the house and drink different fancy teas. If you read books regularly, this tattoo should probably be on your skin at some point. It doesn’t have to be for only that person that enjoys cuddle time with their feline friends, but it certainly seems a custom fit for them at first glance.

#5 - Scooby Doo X-Ray

Scooby Doo is easily one of the most popular cartoons to ever have existed. At one point the show was in the top 10 most popular cartoons for many years in a row. Being that this cartoon has more than 50 consecutive years of history behind it, some of you are sure to be huge fans. The great thing about this tattoo is the creativity and using shapes to show x-ray vision. Even if you do not decide to choose Scooby Doo as the recipient of the x-ray vision, it is still an incredible idea for a tattoo. Think about it, you could use the same format of x-ray vision, with any shape you want, and with any character you want. What a great idea this tattoo was and the fantastic execution of the artwork.

Some triangle X-Ray windows on a Johnny Bravo or Dexter from dexters lab would look really cool too. The awesome part about this tattoo idea is you can change the character to whoever your favorite is and whoever you watched the most of as a kid. You could get really creepy and go way back into your childhood by putting the X-ray shapes on Dora the Explorer or the Tela Tubies.

#6 - The Planets Aligned Tattoo

This next one is for all you astronomers out there. Maybe you just have an elementary school test on the order of the planets. Whatever the reason is this tattoo looks amazing. Although now come to think of it if you’re in elementary school, maybe you shouldn’t be getting tattoos. Can you picture this tattoo on your own forearm? Colored ink, and each one of the planets, making them stand out against the background. You could even go one step further, and create a cosmic empty space background for the planets, and fill in some more space around them on the forearm. There are simply so many things that you could do with this tattoo design.

If you are a Marvel nerd you could add in Galactus coming to eat the planets. If you are an H.P. Lovecraft fan you could easily make the addition of Cthulhu. That would look so crazy with a huge Cthulhu wrapped around a few of the planets. There are seemingly endless amounts of ideas and things that you could do to this design to make it your own and unique. Cosmic tattoos are so great!

#7 - Quill & Ink Tattoo

This tattoo is perfect for writers. If you aspire to be or are a writer, this tattoo may be the ideal ink for you. You can’t even personalize the tattoo by having the ink spillage write out the year of your birthdate. What a great idea this tattoo is. Don’t you love the artistic process and the unique creative thoughts that go into tattoos like this?

The quill and ink tattoo doesn’t only have to be for writers, however. It can certainly be for avid readers or anyone that simply enjoys the process. Maybe you have a family member or other loved one that is or was a writer. That would be a beautiful commemoration and sentiment for that special person in your life that matters so much to you.
