Star Platinum

This tattoo by Da Chang is a stunning, colorful depiction of Star Platinum. The vibrant purple was used perfectly, really bring the Stand to life! Star Platinum first appeared in Stardust Crusaders, and it made an unforgettable impression with its incredible strength and speed, not to mention its iconic battle cry, 'ORA ORA ORA!' This tattoo perfectly captures the essence of Star Platinum's unstoppable energy and pays homage to the Stand that became a symbol of Jotaro's strength.
It Was I Dio!
Artist: Danielle Butler
This next tattoo by Danielle Butler perfectly captures one of my favorite JoJo memes. featuring its own version of the meme with 'You were expecting a tattoo, but it was I, Dio!' This tattoo is both hilarious and beautifully crafted. The bold lines and color really bring Dio's larger-than-life personality to the forefront it's a fantastic nod to one of JoJo's most iconic moments, and it never fails to make me smile.
Bruno Bucciarati
Artists: Nic Mann
This next piece by Nic Mann features one of my favorite characters from JoJo's Part 5—Bruno Bucciarati. The tattoo absolutely nails Bruno's vibe, showing him activating his Stand, Sticky Fingers and using his zipper powers to slip through! The blue highlights in the aura in his eyes are such a great touch,. Nic's did an AMAZING job making this piece look straight from the anime! Bruno was always the one who held it down for his crew, leading with loyalty and courage all the way to the end of the series.
Johnny Joestar
Artists: Kayla Ann
This tattoo by Kayla Ann features Johnny Joestar from Steel Ball Run. It shows Johnny activating his Stand, Tusk, with glowing energy radiating from his hand. I love the use of colors that Kayla used and the circles on johnny finger, a nod to Tusk ACT4's power. Johnny is the first JoJo in the reset universe, making him a unique and important character. Part 7 had unforgettable moments, like his battle against Valentine with Tusk ACT4, reminds us no matter what part, Araki NEVER misses!
Jotaro Loses His Memory Disks
Artists: Angelique Cianci
This tattoo by Angelique Cianci features Jotaro Kujo from Part 6, right after he got his memory disks stolen. It’s an amazing rendition straight out of the manga, capturing that moment when Jotaro was left vulnerable, something we rarely see from him. The details are on point—from the discs being pulled to his lifeless expression. I remember seeing this scene and thinking, 'Man, Jotaro, maybe those dolphins weren’t worth it after all!
