I've been a huge fan of One Piece for a long time. The adventures of Monkey D. Luffy and his crew have always been very special to me. Right from the first episode, I was captivated by the storyline, and Nami’s heartbreaking backstory and the intense Arlong Park arc truly made One Piece my favorite anime.
Nami’s transformation from a captive cartographer to a courageous navigator with a dream of mapping the entire world is incredibly inspiring, and she has become a beloved character for fans worldwide.
In this blog, I'll share five fantastic Nami tattoo ideas that truly capture her essence, strength, and beauty.
Black and Gray Nami Tattoo
Artist - Cristian Marchant
Check out this stunning black and gray tattoo of Nami, brought to life with some strategically placed color accents. In this piece, Nami is depicted sitting with her palm on her chin, smiling warmly. She’s wearing her Return to Sabaody outfit and Luffy’s iconic straw hat.
What makes this tattoo truly pop are the vibrant splashes of color — the Log Pose on her wrist, her expressive eyes, the red strap on the straw hat, and a few gold coins. Additionally, the Berry/Belly (One Piece currency) sign tattoo on her arm is a perfect nod to her love for money, capturing her character’s essence beautifully. This blend of black, gray, and selective color highlights makes this tattoo a must-see for any Nami fans.
Nami Color Tattoo
Artist - Taylor Hagerty
If black and gray isn’t your style, then this vibrant full-color Nami tattoo might just be what you're looking for. This tattoo showcases Nami in all her post-time skip glory, with her long, bright orange hair beautifully rendered. The color blend and shading are simply amazing, making Nami look absolutely stunning.
At the top is Zeus, floating above with hearts in his eyes, showing his love for Nami. It’s almost as if Zeus is as smitten with Nami as we are!
Stripteasing
Artist - Brandon Zarichny
While all Nami tattoos are inherently sexy, this full-color Nami stripteasing tattoo turns the heat up a notch. This piece captures Nami from a top angle, looking smoking hot as she winks and begins to strip her dress with a playful smile. She’s holding her Clima-Tact weapon, ready for anything.
The tattoo not only emphasizes Nami’s sexy side but also showcases her playful and confident personality. The vibrant colors and dynamic pose make this tattoo stand out, celebrating Nami’s fearless and flirtatious nature.
King of Hell Nami
Artist - Brandon Zarichny
Another fun and creative piece by Brandon Zarichny is this unique Nami x Zoro tattoo. This full-color tattoo features Nami dressed in Roronoa Zoro’s iconic green attire, carrying three swords and wielding two of them. It’s a playful mashup that brings out a new, fierce side of Nami that fans don’t often see.
The combination of Nami’s elegance and Zoro’s warrior spirit makes this tattoo truly special. It’s a crossover that I didn't know I needed, and it’s sure to make any One Piece fan do a double-take. Honestly, I feel like Sanji just looking at her!
Nami’s Shoulder Tattoo
Artist - Sandrine Flouriot
Nami’s shoulder tattoo on her left arm carries a profound and heartfelt meaning. Originally, her tattoo was a sawfish, marking her as a member of the Arlong Pirates. However, after Luffy defeated Arlong, Nami changed her tattoo to a design she had worked on herself.
The new tattoo is a beautiful blend of a pinwheel and a tangerine, symbolizing the two most important people in her life: Genzo and Bellmere. Genzo's pinwheel and Bellmere's tangerine grove are significant elements of Nami's past, representing love, care, and the freedom she fought so hard to achieve.
