Skull Knee Tattoo

A dramatic blackwork tattoo depicting Chise Hatori in her Sleigh Beggy form from "The Ancient Magus' Bride." The tattoo captures her intense, almost ethereal gaze with prominent horns and dark contrasts that create a striking and mystical appearance on the knee. The design is surrounded by stylistic elements that evoke the blend of beauty and darkness characteristic of the series.
Artist: Michelle Arrue

Embracing the contours of the knee with a blend of elegance and mystique, the Skull Knee Tattoo by Michelle Arrue pays homage to Elias Ainsworth from "The Ancient Magus' Bride." Positioned strategically to complement the shape of the kneecap, this design features a wolf skull adorned with goat horns, exuding a captivating aura of fantasy and intrigue.

With intricate detailing and seamless integration with the natural curvature of the knee, this tattoo stands as a testament to both the artist's skill and the wearer's devotion to the beloved character.

Naruto Curse Mark Tattoo

A captivating tattoo of Sasuke Uchiha's cursed seal from "Naruto," placed near the knee. The design features the second level of the curse mark with its distinct three comma-like marks radiating out from a central point, surrounded by an ominous pattern that resembles flames or feathers, hinting at the power and chaos the mark represents in the series. The black ink's boldness against the skin accentuates the mark's menacing allure.
Artist: Misael Martinez

Breaking free from convention, the Naruto Curse Mark Tattoo by Misael Martinez takes inspiration from the iconic seal of power wielded by Sasuke Uchiha. With meticulous precision, Martinez crafts a design that doesn't merely cover the knee but integrates seamlessly with its natural contours.

The three tomoe design of the curse mark, intricately etched upon the kneecap, serves as a focal point, while the circular seal enveloping the knee completes the composition with a mesmerizing touch.

Around the Knee Tattoo

A detailed black and white tattoo wrapping around the leg, depicting Levi Ackerman from "Attack on Titan" with a somber expression. His hand is raised to his face, partially covering it, with the subtle appearance of another character in the background, creating a layered narrative effect.
Artist: Allyn Grima

For those hesitant to ink directly on the kneecap, this around-the-knee tattoo by Allyn Grima offers a stylish alternative that doesn't compromise on impact. Channeling the essence of Levi Ackerman from "Attack on Titan," this tattoo starts from the upper thigh and gracefully wraps around to just below the knee.

Grima's masterful execution of the design ensures that every curve and contour of the knee is adorned with precision, creating a mesmerizing pattern that accentuates the wearer's silhouette.

Knee Ditch Tattoo

A vibrant, colorful tattoo showcasing a happy oddish from pokemon with leaf-like appendages sprouting from its head,." The tattoo is set against a clear skin backdrop, making the character's bright colors pop. It is on the knee
Artist: Amelia Moore

There is a notion that getting a tattoo on the knee ditch is more painful than getting a tattoo on the kneecap. However, Amelia Moore has successfully overcome the challenge by creating a beautiful design featuring the popular Oddish character from the world of Pokémon. Despite the knee ditch being notorious for its heightened sensitivity, Moore's creation manages to add a touch of cuteness and charm to this potentially painful spot. 

The tattoo combines the endearing features of Oddish with the delicate beauty of a pink princess plant, capturing the essence of innocence and wonder. Even though it's a small design, it is captivating and serves as a reminder that beauty and happiness can bloom in unexpected places.

Colored Kneecap Tattoo

A knee sleeve tattoo densely packed with characters from "Naruto," featuring a colorful Naruto Uzumaki in the foreground with a Sharingan eye beneath him. The sleeve includes various characters and symbols from the anime, rendered in a mix of bold colors and detailed shading, creating a comprehensive tribute to the series.
Artist: Bret Bloom

For the daring and the devoted, Bret Bloom presents a masterpiece that transcends the boundaries of traditional knee cap tattoos. Inspired by the captivating allure of Itachi Uchiha's Sharingan eye from the Naruto series, this tattoo commands attention with its vibrant colors and intricate detailing.

Bloom's skillful application of hues brings the Sharingan to life, transforming the kneecap into a mesmerizing focal point that captivates onlookers. Despite covering the entire kneecap, the tattoo maintains a flawless appearance, reminiscent of a meticulously crafted sticker adorning the skin.
