Dragon Ball Z isn't just an anime – it's a cultural phenomenon. It has epic battles that shatter mountains. It has memorable transformations that leave us speechless. The series has carved a permanent place in our hearts.
At the core of this epic saga lies my favorite character in the Dragon Ball universe. It's Vegeta, the Prince of all Saiyans. He went from a cold elitist to a caring family man. This change is one of pride, growth, and strong determination.
For fans who want to showcase their love for the Saiyan prince, a Vegeta tattoo is the ultimate way. But with a character as iconic as Vegeta, choosing the right design can be tough. So, I've scoured the internet to find the five best Vegeta tattoo ideas. They capture his character and his epic journey.
The Saiyan Prince
Artist - Mark Castellanos
This tattoo showcases the Old School Vegeta when he was still a villain. He is wearing Saiyan battle armor with the classic red scouter over his left eye. This design captures the spirit of Vegeta's early days as an evil villain. The artist uses stipple shading well. It adds depth and texture to the piece. This makes it a striking homage to Vegeta's ruthless and proud beginnings. This tattoo is perfect for fans who admire Vegeta's journey from a fearsome warrior to a respected hero.
Majin Vegeta with Trunks
Artist - Satoru Ink
This stunning black-and-white tattoo beautifully captures the emotional depth and complexity of Vegeta's character. The design has three powerful images. One shows Majin Vegeta, roughed up after his intense fight with Majin Buu. Another shows kid Trunks, ready to leap into battle. The last shows Vegeta hugging Trunks for the first time before knocking him out to save his life.
Until now in the series, Vegeta had been a distant father. He seemed only interested in Trunks' strength. Watching Vegeta and Trunks share this embrace is moving. Vegeta is finally expressing his pride and love for his son.
Vegeta in the Rain
Artist - Marcus Ottner
This full-color tattoo captures one of Vegeta’s most iconic and emotionally charged scenes. Vegeta stands in the rain on a small, rocky hill. His expression is intense and determined. This moment is from the episode where Vegeta was humiliated by his defeat at the hands of Android 18. He reflects on his weakness. Her taunting words echo in his mind, fueling his rage and determination.
As the rain pours down, Vegeta flies into a wild fury, transforming into a Super Saiyan. He talks to himself about the need to reach a higher level of power beyond Super Saiyan. His pride and warrior spirit drive him. This scene culminates with Vegeta's declaration — "I will be legendary!"
Ultra Ego Vegeta
Artist - Ticen Martin
It’s a tattoo of Vegeta in his Ultra Ego form. This form is a powerful divine transformation. It channels the Ultra Ego ability and the power of destruction. It was made to complement Ultra Instinct in name and concept. Ultra Ego fits Vegeta's character perfectly.
My favorite line from this arc is Vegeta's declaration. He said, “A god of destruction taught me that power from instinct is unbounded!” This quote perfectly encapsulates the essence of Ultra Ego. Ticen Martin’s tattoo brings this form to life with great colors. It captures the intensity and raw power of Vegeta's Ultra Ego transformation.
Vegeta and Bulma
Artist - Amy Porter
Amy Porter created this colorful, cute, and romantic Vegeta and Bulma piece. It showcases their relationship in a truly unique way. The design captures Bulma taking the lead. She leans in for a kiss, while Vegeta stands there. A blush creeps across his face and his eyes look away in a classic tsundere pose.
We all know Vegeta's a tough guy with a soft spot for Bulma, and this tattoo perfectly captures that dynamic. It's a perfect choice for fans who want a lighter-hearted representation of their favorite Saiyan couple.
