New styles are continually being added to tattoo designs over time. In recent years, one style that has seen a particular surge in popularity is tattoos featuring anime and game characters. It seems that an increasing number of tattoo artists are now able to accommodate these requests. The demand for artists proficient in anime and games may continue to grow in the future.
This design introduction will feature tattoos inspired by popular game designs!
Super Mario Bros.
When it comes to games, it has to be Super Mario Bros. As one of the best-selling games in the world, there are probably very few people who don't know it. Many of you have likely played it at least once and experienced its highly addictive nature. Starting as a simple game of avoiding obstacles, it has now become a globally recognized title, not just in Japan. It's said that an increasing number of people are getting Mario tattoos to relive childhood memories or to ensure they don't forget them. The character itself also has a very high appeal.
PUBG
PUBG is perhaps the game that took the world by storm in recent years. Many people apparently spent their lockdown days playing PUBG with friends all day long because they had nothing else to do. This is a battle royale shooting game where players aim to be the last one standing in a world filled with other players, taking down enemies around them. PUBG has broken various records and is a game with significant momentum in recent years. Many professional gamers and influencers have emerged through this game. The prize money for the world championship amounts to hundreds of millions of yen.
Ghost of Tsushima
Have you played this game before? It's an action-adventure game for PlayStation. Characters from this game, often hailed as one of the masterpieces on the PS, are rapidly gaining popularity as tattoo designs. The game, which is based on samurai, is popular for its incredibly beautiful graphics, stunning combat scenes, and a solid storyline. Achieving such high-quality graphics usually means compromises in game comfort, such as long download times. Ghost of Tsushima, however, is considered a masterpiece because it managed to maintain beautiful graphics while delivering a stress-free experience. If you haven't played it yet, you should definitely give it a try.
Naruto
This is Naruto, a representative anime from Japan. It is globally famous and boasts significant recognition as an anime and game tattoo design. I have the impression that there are more people overseas with Naruto character tattoos than in Japan.
X-Men Origins
X-Men Origins: Wolverine is a hack-and-slash action-adventure game based on the movie of the same name. Wolverine, a character from the "X-Men" series, has garnered many fans due to his character and role, and is also popular as a tattoo design.
Summary
Even for the same character, there's a wide range of designs, from cool to pop, so please find your favorite. It might also be interesting to get a tattoo of a game character that holds personal significance to you, or even create an original design. This was an introduction to styles that are likely to increase in popularity in the future!
