The Powerpuff Girls was a popular cartoon TV show about three little girls who fight crime and save the world. Tattoos of this cartoon can symbolize nostalgia, resilience or a bond.
What is the History of Powerpuff Girls Tattoos?
Obviously due to the recent nature of The Powerpuff Girls there is not a lot of history behind a Powerpuff Girls tattoo and it is also not that common. This is because The TV show was only released in 1998 and ran until 2005, predominantly on children’s networks.
However, although the cartoon has certainly not become a classic or staple tattoo by any means it can be a popular choice for people who grew up in this period and who have nostalgic tattoos or even collectors of cartoon tattoos.
But, even among collectors of cartoon tattoo The Powerpuff Girls is still not one of the most common options as comic books and Marvel figures are among the more cult options and easily the more widely recognized. The thing about a Powerpuff Girls tattoo is that unless you were a part of the generation that grew up watching the show, you are unlikely to recognize the image.
What Do Powerpuff Girls Tattoos Symbolize?
There are a wide range of different things that a Powerpuff Girls tattoo could symbolize.
For example, if you were a part of the generation of children that grew up watching the television show then it could simply serve as a reminder of your childhood and become a nostalgic piece of artwork on your body.
Alternatively, because of the what the girls stood for on the show – they fought crime and sought to rid the world of evil – you could have the tattoo as a symbol of everything that is good in the world and as a reminder to always fight off any evil that comes your way.
If you are an eternal pessimist then this tattoo could serve as a great reminder of the work that you need to put into making the world a better place and the fact that you cannot do it alone, but only as a part of a group that needs to stick together.
The idea that the girl group is made up of three girls, who are sisters, could be a fantastic way to symbolize a bond between you and your friends or your sisters (if this applies to you – i.e. if you have two sisters, you don’t want to leave anyone out!)
You could choose to get a tattoo of all three of the Powerpuff Girls or you could choose to assign a character to each one of you, either based off of their age or their personality. Obviously, you will all have to agree on your respective characters but this could add an additional significance of where you stand in your relationship to each other.
What Do Powerpuff Girls Tattoos Mean?
There is no one meaning behind a Powerpuff Girls tattoo and in fact the tattoo can have no meaning at all, but it is more likely than not that if someone has this tattoo then it was a significant part of their childhood. Their tattoo could remind them of a good childhood and relaxed Saturday mornings watching cartoons while eating a bowl of cereal.
However, if they have the characters themselves tattooed on them then you will need to figure out exactly which character they have a tattoo of in order to work out its meaning. For example, if they have one of the girls tattooed on them then it could represent their part of a bond with two other people.
But, if they have all three girls tattooed on them then it could again be a reference to their childhood or simply just a bright and colorful image that they enjoy.
They may also have just the Powerpuff Girls’ logo as a tattoo which again makes the tattoo’s meaning ambiguous.
However, if they have one of the other characters tattooed on them then this is where the meaning becomes a little bit more complicated and you may have to ask the person what their tattoo means. For example, there are multiple evil characters within the TV show, who have a very particular look about them.
If they have one of these characters you should hope that it is because of their love for the show and not because of their love of evil!
Characteristics and Styles of Powerpuff Girls Tattoos
Because the Powerpuff Girls was a cartoon TV show the chances are that this type of tattoo will be done in a brightly colored cartoon style in order to match the original style of the show.
When it comes to Powerpuff Girls tattoos you have several options for style. You can opt to have a tattoo of one or all of the girls, and this may depend on the meaning behind your tattoo as to which girl or girls you choose to include in your design.
You could also opt to include more characters, such as the evil villains or the mayor and the professor. This would obviously mean that you would need to opt for a very large design and choose the correct placement to accommodate it.
However, if you want something a little smaller or even a little bit more girls (due to the pink coloring) you could always simply opt for a tattoo of the Powerpuff Girls logo.
Typically this style of tattoo will need bold black lines in order to mimic the cartoon designs.
Where Do Powerpuff Girls Tattoos Usually Go?
Depending on how big you want your tattoo to be there are many different placements for this type of tattoo. For example, if you only want the logo or one of the girls then you can have the tattoo basically anywhere on your body.
However, if you want all three of the Powerpuff Girls or even more characters then you will need a larger area such as the arm, leg, chest or back.
