21 Incredible One Piece Tattoo Ideas

1. Heart Pirates Jolly Rodger Tattoo

First on the Jolly Rodger list is the flag of Trafalgar Law's Heart Pirates. The Heart Pirates' Jolly Roger is a smiley face with six protrusions.

The smiley is almost certainly in Donquixote Rosinante, Law's guardian who told him to always keep smiling after curing him from lead poisoning. 

The outer indents make it look like a virus, appropriate to Law's profession as the Surgeon of Death. The smiley face itself is similar to Doflamingo's Jolly Roger who is Laws nemesis. 

2. Realistic Mugiwara Pirates Jolly Rodger Tattoo

With the success of the live action interpretation of One Piece, how about a more realistic interpretation of the iconic designs such as this Mugiwara (Strawhat) Pirates Jolly Rodger.

It's a bit haunting so i'm not if it would fit Luffy's style, but non the less here it is.

3. White Beard Pirates Jolly Rodger Tattoo

No one said you had to pay total respect to the source material, so check out this stylized version of the White Beard Pirates Jolly Rodger. 

White Beard was second only to Rodger and after Rodgers death, Newgate was considered the strongest man in the One Piece world.

White Beard never cared for the One Piece because family was his greatest treasure. So if you to are a family man, honour Whitebeards legacy with this spectacular design.

4. Individual Straw Hat Crew Tattoo 

While none of these appeared in the main series itself, why not ink yourself with these super cool individual Jolly Rodger designs for your One Piece Tattoo Ideas.

It's cool to think what it would have been like if each of the Mugiwara pirates led a crew as captains and who knows, it might still happen yet.

This has all the designs in one including both ships helms, but you can just choose which ever of the Mugiwara crew speaks to you the most.

Franky is my personal favoite due to his incredible theme song and his comedic moments, like when he blew himself up in Vegapunk's lab.

5. Luffy's First Jolly Rodger

Just for fun, or for those who are deep into their references, why not go for Luffy’s first-ever attempt at the Straw Hat Jolly Rodger before Usopps alterations for the better. Thank goodness for that! 

1. Favorite Character Tattoo

An obvious choice for a One Piece Tattoo Ideas is to get your favorite character. With over 1000 characters in the series, there's no shortage to choose from. 

How about this Wano Zoro in his 3 sword style with Haki.

I'm pretty sure this is right before he uses his Purgatory Oni-Giri on Killer, but correct me if i'm wrong.

2. Different Characters Tattoo

You don't have to settle for just one of your favorite characters, so why not go for a collage of different characters.

You can choose anything from all the Strawhat crew, other crews, heroes (just dont include Luffy or Zoro in that category), villains or a mix of any of the characters that are your personal favorites.

Surely someone out there will go for the Foxy crew right!... Right?

3. Gomu Gomu Gigant Pistol

Here’s a great idea, considering Luffy’s body is made entirely out of rubber and can adjust his size, you can take advantage of the concept by making a super cool tattoo to real-life piece of art.

As you know, Luffy’s gear 3 allowed him to gigantify his hand, so why not make your hand Luffys.

But you don't have to stop there, you can even take this idea to your foot to replicate Luffy’s Gomu Gomu no Stamp move.

4. Character Fusions Or Imitations 

How about a fusion of your favorite characters for your One Piece Tattoo Ideas. It's not uncommon for members of the strawhat crew to imitate each other like when Robin used her Hana Hana no Mi powers to help Luffy look like Chopper or when Luffy mocked both Sanji and Zoro during their excursion in Skypiea.

Even Ussop gets involved like when he imitated both Robin and Crocodile. Maybe this is an alternate reality where Chopper became the master of the 3 sword style, or maybe its just Chopper trying to imitate Zoro to be more brave, who really knows!

5. Kaido Dragon Tattoo

Blending traditional style with an Anime twist, why not go for the Captain of the Beast Pirates in his Dragon form.

A Dragon tattoo is so versatile it can go almost anywhere on the body and if you love One Piece and Dragons, Kaido is the perfect choice for you.

White Beard was the strongest man in the One Piece world, but Kaido was considered the strongest creature amoung all living things, and "if it's one-on-one, Kaido will win". So based on that, who do you think would win in thier primes? 

6. Devil Fruit Tattoo

When it comes to One Piece, the Devil Fruits are subtle images that embody the characters themselves. Be it Ace’s, now Sabo’s Mera Mera No Mi, Katakuri’s Mochi Mochi No Mi, or Black Beards Yami Yami No Mi, each devil fruit is directly connected to each of those characters. The Gomu Gomu No Mi is all you need to see to know it’s from our protagonist Luffy, but the added touch of the Strawhat on top is a great choice. Consider Devil Fruits have a will of their own, I thought it appropriate to fit in the character sub-heading.

2. Nami's Pin Wheel and Tangerine

The iconic pinwheel and orange is perfect for anyone who loves the feisty Cat Burglar Nami.

Tattooed after the defeat of Arlong by the StrawHat crew, the Tangerine pays homage to both Nami’s adoptive mother and sister while the pinwheel represents Genzo, the closest person Nami had to a Father.

The Tattoo also represents moving on from the trauma of her past by covering over the tattoo she was forced to get from Arlong while she was in servitude to him while trying to save Cocoyashi Village.

3. Ace's Tattoo 

Ace’s iconic tattoo is the crossed-out S in his name.

It is up for debate whether the S was always intended to be a foreshadowing by Oda Sensei to represent Sabo, Luffy and Ace’s childhood friend and sworn brother.

But considering how many years it takes for little tidbits of information from the One Piece author to pay off, I think I’ll give him the benefit of the doubt and say it absolutely was.

4. 2 Years Tattoo

Equally you can ink yourself with Luffy’s variation of the Ace tattoo.

After healing from his trauma at Amazon Lily with the help of everyones favorite Fishman Jimbei, Luffy returned to Marine ford with this mark.

While Luffy’s was only temporary as a signal to his Nakama to reunite after 2 years rather than the 3 days they originally planned, let's hope yours will last even longer.

5. Sun Pirates Tattoo

While the Sun Pirates symbol is placed on the body through the painful process of a branding iron (Ouch!), you’ll be forgiven for not going down the same route as they did to cover the mark of the Celestial Dragons.

The Sun Pirate mark is one of the more versatile lore-accurate tattoo ideas you can choose from, as the mark appears on multiple different characters on different parts of their bodies, so really it's up to you to choose where exactly you want to place it.

1. Gear 5

One Piece is filled to the brim with iconic moments that people re-watch or read the entire series all over again just to try and recapture the moment they first witnessed it.

But if you want to relive that moment for you every day, why not immortalize the moment with some of these great One Piece Tattoo Ideas.

Luffy’s Gear 5 transformation into the SPOILERS! are you gone? Ok, Sun God Nika is a moment that, for some, is on par with if not exceeding, other iconic transformations like Goku into SSJ.

2. Nothing Happened One Piece Tattoo

A personal favorite scene is Zoro’s sacrifice to save his crew. Faced with the seemingly unstoppable ‘Tyrant’ Bartholomew Kuma, Zoro offers to take all the pain and suffering Luffy built up in his battle with Gecko Moria.

Expecting to die, Zoro throws himself into the paw shaped ball, writhing in pain, only for the screen to go black.

However, Sanji finds Zoro still standing, covered in pools of his own blood. When asked what happened, Zoro simply responds, ‘Nothing happened’.

This Tattoo is perfect for anyone who’s inspired by those who choose to save others at the expense of their own safety.

3. Gear Second Tattoo Idea

It's up to you to decide which is more iconic, Luffy’s gear 5 laugh or his Gear 2 pose.

But being the first power-up of the series and being referenced in other anime and even by athletes at the Olympics, you can't go wrong with a Gear 2 tattoo. 

4. God Usopp One Piece Tattoo Designs

If you’re looking for inspiration in your daily life, then how could you go wrong with God himself plastered onto your arm?

The God Usopp scene is probably one of the most iconic comedic moments standing beside scenes like Enel’s fear face or Luffy’s afro reveal.

The God Usopp tattoo is a symbol of your faith as a follower of Usopp after his bravery from liberating the people of Dressrosa from Sugar’s Hobi Hobi no Mi powers.

5. One Piece Manga Panels Tattoo

You don't have to settle for just one moment, why not go for 3. Nami’s cry for help is a moment a lot of One piece fans claim is the moment they knew One Piece was special, myself being one of those.

Robin's admittance that she wants to live is perfect for those who fight on if face of the adversities of life, and Usopp bravely declaring just who he is is perfect for those who take life head on no matter how scary it may be.
