20 Studio Ghibli Tattoos Straight From Miyazaki Films
Studio Ghibli is the anime studio, and Hayao Miyazaki is the medium’s lord and patron. From “Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind” to “The Wind Rises,” his movies have conquered the hearts and imaginations of millions. Fantastical yet featuring sympathetic characters and ambiguous, likeable villains, Miyazaki’s movies are also marked by signature animation style.
Small wonder that fans of his movies are getting tattoos of anime characters. From simple outlines of Totorro to sleeve tattoos mashing together characters from many movies, there are no limits to what they’ll come up with. And though Miyazaki is now retired, his movies will continue to inspire tattoos for years.

Botanical Tattoos Made By Imprinting Real Leaves On The Skin
This is to the guys who are on a constant quest to find that one-of-a-kind tattoo. Ukrainian tattoo artist Rita “Rit Kit” Zolotukhina has found a way to make every tattoo unique with the helping hand of Mother Nature.
She calls them “botanical fingerprint” tattoos. “I’m a nature lover. So most of my sketches are related to flora. But the more I drew, the more I wanted something fresh and native, to feel the plants without any steps in between,” said Rita to Illusion Magazine . She dips real leaves and flowers into stencil ink before placing them onto the skin. As no two leaves are the same, each permanent imprints they leave on the skin is unique.
Finally your quest to get that unique tattoo is over… when you manage to find your way to Ukraine that is.
