Since 1928 Walt Disney introduced two wonderful characters, namely Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse. Kids of all ages were fans of these lovable cartoon figures and some of them still are. Their mesmerizing world was part of comics, movies, cartoons and various merchandise, so why not include it in the tattoo art as well? Those of you who accept your inner child and embrace the dreamy moments spent together with Mickey and Minnie will surely enjoy the following 80+ Mickey Mouse tattoos!
Types of Mickey Mouse Tattoo Designs
Among the myriad of Mickey Mouse tattoo designs available already, you’ll find that some of them are classics. I’m talking about the simple outline of their profile with or without a bow; or the iconic image of Mickey and Minnie facing each other, ready to kiss. Also, the two white-gloved hands together forming a heart shape; or the old-school style techniques portraying the traditional characters out of the 30’s and 40’s. In addition, the most modern Mickey Mouse tattoos have the outline of the famous head and ear filled with intricate patterns of mandalas or other ornaments.
Pain Expectancy vs. Your Personal Tolerance
The tattoos with Mickey or Minnie Mouse are usually small to medium, so they don’t involve a high level of pain. Also, they aren’t usually placed on sensitive body areas. Now, it’s up to you where you want to ink your Disney tattoo, but it would be smart to avoid areas with thin skin or bony areas.
Take the Aftercare Stage Seriously
Just like any other tattoo, one with cartoon characters needs to be taken care of. If you already have a tattoo, you can apply the same techniques for your new one. In case you made mistakes last time, now you can avoid them and keep your ink intact for tens of years from now.
Break Your Piggy Bank for a Tattoo
The price of a cartoonish tattoo depends on its complexity and whether or not it has color in it. Considering most of them are quite simple to ink, you shouldn’t expect extra fees besides the standard ones. Each tattoo parlor has standard fees, so you should do some research depending on the area you live in. A simple and relatively small tattoo won’t cost you more than $100.
