When the cold war ended, the ‘90s culture was just starting to pick up speed. The magnificent results of this decade are showcased through the number of ‘90s tattoos people decided to get.
These types of tattoos capture the more popular aspects of the decade that bring that nostalgia factor. Since the decade gave us legendary animated cartoon movies and other nostalgic things, it’s only courtesy to go through a small amount of pain to get some ‘90s pop culture tattoos on our skin.
The ‘90s were the golden age for animated movies, and the characters that appeared in them are still popular today, hence the reason why ‘90s cartoon tattoos usually focus on the characters.
The decade of nostalgia is easily recognizable thanks to the Cowardly Dog, Simba, and multiple Simpsons characters. Since some of us grew up with them, it was only a question of time until someone decided to ink them on the skin. Also, ‘90s popular tattoos are known for the style in designs that artists used to separate themselves from the previous decades. These designs, which use an array of colors, help the tattoos to stand out, allowing these designs to live on even in the next millennium.
Nostalgia is best seen in the style and themes of tattoos in the 90s. From the characters of famous cartoons to the other pop culture icons of the decade, the ‘90s might be the best place to look for inspiration. Since not all tattoo ideas might fit your style, upvote the ones you like and comment below if you would get them too.
