Nothing unites people like the love of Cartoons, to be specific, Disney cartoons. Even though cartoons are typically not synonymous with masculinity, they have slowly but certainly been growing in favor among the more craggy sex in the world. Out of the several interesting cartoon tattoos for men, Disney cartoons are by far the most preferred. Going by the continuous re-imaginings and collaborations of favorite princesses and princes, the obsession with Disney cartoons follows us well into adulthood.
Most people are surprised when they catch wind about the continuing popularity of Disney cartoon tattoos. The animated character craze is still much alive especially among men. Gone are the days when tattoos were meant for men who were considered tough such as bikers and sailors. These days, tattoos can be found on the least likely people. Even more surprising, is a Disney tattoo on a man.
Even the most jaded soul can appreciate the joy of cartoons. We all have a little child in us who wants to be surrounded by cartoons all the time. They bring joy, good old memories and fun. Everyone from strong men to girlish women can choose a cartoon character to grace their skin. As a matter of fact, a number of seafaring men from the 20th century wore stylized varieties of Donald Duck and Mickey Mouse rendered in an old school style of early tattoos. Most men choose to get tattoos on their upper backs, chests, biceps and thighs. It all depends on the level of visibility the individual prefers.
Popular Disney tattoos for men mostly feature symbols and quotes. The masculine take on Disney tattoos is minimalist, subtle and chic. Men make the decision to get tattoos for different reasons, primarily to identify themselves with social or religious groups, to gift their bodies with symbols that are known to be protective or purely just because of their appreciation for art.
In most cases, Disney tattoos for men represent the wearers childhood. This explains why most people will settle on their favorite character from their favorite cartoon growing up. Others settle on the character they identified with the most. However, for the creatives, it is an opportunity to be unique. Single characters are popular and as such, can be very common among tattoo enthusiasts. Men looking to standout some more might consider getting something they have not seen before. Maybe getting one of the lesser-known characters from their favorite cartoon, or combining different characters from different cartoons into one design, combining scenes to make a special version of the cartoon and capturing it permanently in form of a tattoo.
As far as Disney tattoos for men are concerned, there is a wide range of motifs that one can select. Most of the designs are adorable and cool. However, sometimes tattoo artists can give a weird look depending on the fancies and whims of the customer. It is these out of the box expressions that catch bystanders by surprise and make the wearer stand out.
