Pokémon tattoo: get them all!

I will become the best, the best there will ever be. My cause is to be a coach after my big real test. I will travel to any place, I will reach any corner. At last I will be able to unravel the power that is in Pokémon.

If you have recognized the song (and now you are jumping like crazy) this is your post, since We will see some ideas to get a Pokémon tattoo, one of Nintendo's most famous franchises (and don't worry, if you're more of mario tattoos we have another post for you).

Pokemon tattoo ideas

Today we get down to work right away to give you some ideas to make your Pokemon chop unique. We assume that you have played video games or at least seen the series. In any case, the argument of the two can be summarized in a super simple way: the trained Pokémon on duty chooses their initial Pokémon and goes out to see the world.

I chose Bulbasaur. And you, who did you choose?

Let's start with the basics: Have you ever considered getting a tattoo with your favorite Pokémon? My boyfriend does. This Christmas he gave me a Zelda tattoo and he gave himself one of Bulbasaur, his favorite Pokémon, and it's adorable (both of them; the Pokémon and my boyfriend).

What I want to say is surely if you are a fan of Pokémon you already have your favorite bug; But it can be an interesting idea to give it a twist and choose a design that is closer to you and your personality. For example, my boyfriend's Bulbasaur is asleep and has ginkgo leaves behind it (ginkgo is his favorite tree).

Usually Pokémon fans take a liking to any of the three starter Pokémon of the generation that have ever lived. Surely the most mythical, for being the first, are Charmander, the adorable dragon, Squirtle, the evil turtle and the best in the world, Bulbasaur, although we must not forget other little monsters that, although they were not initial, have an almost of legend and that can give you very cool ideas for an original tattoo. For instance:

• Jigglypuff, the most adorable pink ball ... and heavy. Paint it like in the series, with a microphone and a marker in hand ready to paint the face of the handsome man who falls asleep listening to his ballads for a fun twist. In fact, this Pokémon is so mythical that it even appears in some installments of other video games, such as Super Smash Bros.
• Cubone, the Pokémon with the saddest and twisted history. Maybe that's why it is the protagonist of a lot of tattoos. Did you know that the skull on his head belongs to his mother, who died defending him against Team Rocket? Series like the old ones are no longer made ...
• Eevee... or one of its many evolutions is another of the Pokémon that you can be inspired by to get a cool tattoo. You can choose just one or a detailed piece with all the evolutions together.

Your favorite character with you forever

The truth, at home we have always been very James, of Team Rocket, because nobody like him knows how to take advantage of a skirt. However, your childhood heroes may not include so much the series' villains as some of its many trainers. Among the most mythical, of course, is Ash, the first of all, impulsive and stubborn, as well as Misty or Brock, his first companions.

If you want something more special, You can choose a gym coach with whom you have a special affinity or even Professor Oak, which gives you to choose your first Pokémon in the games and is a secondary in the series.

Scenes worthy of being immortalized

So far we have talked about characters and Pokémon, now we can talk about the scenes that have starred and that they can be an ideal piece for those looking for a much larger tattoo.

• For example, one of the most mythical and remembered places is the Lavender Town, which even has its own urban legend (or "creepypasta", as today's youth say). According to legend, the music of Pueblo Lavanda had sound frequencies that led hundreds of people to commit suicide… Without a doubt a place to remember!

• All the cool getaways on Team Rocket's Meowth balloon They are another of the scenes that can perfectly serve for a funny tattoo in which the protagonists are Jesse and James and, of course, Meowth, his particular Pikachu. Give it movement with a punctured balloon soaring through the skies. Team Rocket takes off again!

• And of course, we can't forget the hundreds of Pokémon battles that have taken place throughout the series and video games. Whether with a pixel aesthetic or based on anime or more recent games, it is best to choose your favorite Pokémon and its nemesis, or another Pokémon that you like very much. Take the opportunity to show them off with their most famous attacks, such as the Bulbasaur strain whip.

Pixels like the old ones

For those of us who grew up with the Game Boy, the NES, or the SNES, there is nothing more nostalgic than pixels. You can do real tricks with these little squares so simple that they emulate the feeling of those first games. Remember that, although they shine more in color, originally the Game Boy was in black and white, which may give a game to a tattoo more based on the real aesthetics of Pokémon at that time.

Round and tiny Pokéballs that will catch you

If you do not want to tattoo any Pokémon but you are a fan of the saga, you can choose any of its other symbols, such as Pokéballs. If you have played the games, you already know that there are Pokéballs to give and sell that help you catch the most difficult Pokémon.

A design with a Pokéball can be small and discreet, ideal if you do not want a very large design or you want something to wear, for example, on the wrist.

Tips for making Pokemon tattoo shine

To finish, let's see a few tips to make your Pokémon tattoo shine and be unique like no other, something essential so that you do not get tired after two days of it:

• Take full advantage of color. Pokémon, although in its beginnings on the Game Boy limited to black and white, it is a TV series and a very happy franchise, both for its plot and its aesthetics. Therefore, in a tattoo with this theme, color is essential, the brighter and brighter the better. Remember, for example, that two opposing colors can give a lot of life to the design, for example, combining a Bulbasaur, which is totally green, with details in red, orange, yellow, pink ...

• Besides the color, the style of the tattoo is of great importance. You do not always have to follow the style of anime or games, in fact, you can get very cool designs with seemingly opposite styles, such as traditional or neoclassical. However, the one that stands out the most is the cartoon, which allows a clean or sketchy aesthetic, which will be a design full of light and movement.

• Finally, do not forget that to get a design that is totally personal you can add other elements to the design. For example, with my partner we each wear the favorite video game character of the other disguise of his (or what is the same, he wears a Link disguised as a Bulbasaur and I wear a Bulbasaur disguised as Link), although the options are endless.

Pokémon is an icon of our childhood that, why not, can be the ideal excuse to get a tattoo May it last us forever and shout to the world that you are a coach!
