Do you ever wonder if, in his wildest dreams, Walt Disney had any idea of the impact he'd have on our lives? Whether he knew or not, I think he'd be thrilled with how much we all adore his characters, and he'd love the Disney tattoos we've gotten to show our affection. Here are a few of my faves. I think he'd just love them all!
1. Can't Pick Just One
This is the tattoo to get when you can't decide which Disney character is your favorite. Baymax? Aladdin? Captain Jack Sparrow?
2. Sully + Boo
Oh my gosh, this one gives me so many feels! Remember the very last moment in Monsters Inc.? Boo says "Kitty" and we all just cried.
3. Snow White Sketch
This one's so simple and elegant! I love the little bit of red in her cheeks, apple, and bow... that's all she needs is a little pop of color!
4. Philosophy
Why not take Elsa's words and make them your own life's mantra?
5. The Magic Kingdom
Oh man, this one makes me tear up, too! At first I didn't even notice Walt on the side, surveying his kingdom with Mickey.
6. Vintage Comic Vixens
This is such a clever tattoo, done in the style of those old vintage comics. Love!
7. Watercolor Ariel
This is so pretty! I love that the tattoo artist left in the sketch lines... gorgeous!
8. Drink Me
This watercolor Alice is just so detailed... I wonder how long it took to make this tattoo?
9. All the Littles
If you have a thing for all of the tiny critters Disney designed, then this is the ink for you.
10. The Aristo-Kittens
Of course, there's Marie in the middle, causing trouble.
11. That Grin Though
Who doesn't love the Cheshire Cat, and his special brand of chill?
12. Low-Battery Baymax
One of the funniest scenes in Big Hero 6 is when Baymax is all low-battery drunk, clumsy and all affectionate with Mochi.
13. Mulan's Comb
If you ever feel like you need a reminder that you're loved exactly as you are, no matter what, then maybe a tiny tattoo of Mulan's comb (from her father) will help.
14. Best Buddies
I forgot how much I loved this movie... and how good Mowgli and Baloo were together.
15. Sweet Little Simba
I love the colors in this one, and that sweet little expression on Simba's face - he's so proud of himself, and so happy!
16. Stitch
Look at his wee balloons! I love the white outline, too, for some reason... it just makes the whole piece look polished and complete.
17. Everything's Coming up Roses
The shape is typical Mickey, with those iconic ears, but the roses? They're original, and I think Walt himself would approve.
18. The Places You've Been
I love this idea! When she goes to Disney World, will she get a Florida tattoo on the other finger?
19. Tropical Lady & Tramp
I would never have thought of taking these two out of their original setting, but now that I've seen it, I love it!
20. Another Ariel
This one's so perfect, so close to the original, it looks like one of the Disney animators did it.
21. Nick from Zootopia
If you haven't seen Zootopia yet, you might not understand why anyone would be so attached to this wily little fox, but I totally get it.
22. Brilliant Bird
He wasn't a main character, but I love Zazu, too!
23. Until the Last Petal Falls
This Beauty and the Beast tattoo is just gorgeous... I love the stained glass effect!
24. Simba Symbol
This one's just adorable... it's only in the movie for a minute, but it's so important!
25. Matching Minnies
These would be perfect tattoos for besties or sisters, or sisters who are besties!
26. She Loves Him
This is so sweet! I mean, we all know Minnie loves Mickey, but this tattoo is just adorable.
27. It's Not a Fork
Raise your hand if you knew, the moment you saw this, that it was a dinglehopper, not a fork.
