Specializing in Cartoon Tattoos
As the name indicates, a cartoon style tattoo is one that draws inspiration from animation. Typically, its pieces feature bold outlines, although sketch-work techniques have become increasingly popular over the last few years. The latter gives the piece a cool “work in progress” look. Nevertheless, cartoon tattoos usually feature bright and saturated colors. Subject matter pulls from a variety of sources, including modern cartoons (i.e. SpongeBob), classic cartoons (i.e. Disney and Warner Brothers productions), video games, and characters from comic strips (i.e. the Peanuts gang, et cetera). It also intersects with the anime style, namely when crossover characters such as Pokemon are involved. Caricature art, a style of portraiture that exaggerates a person’s distinctive physical features to create a humorous or distorted likeness, is also included in the cartoon style classification.
These tattoos are often requested by clients who attach a sense of nostalgia and joy to them. As a result, a lot of thought goes into who they honor to design and/or apply a given image or scene to their skin.
