Bulbasaur Juicy Skeleton
While the Bulgarian Seeds have found their presence in all forms of fan art, this particular iteration is something few would have thought of. Item #001 in the Pokédex, The Grass/Venom’s most notable feature is the cocoons on its back, which grow more and more flowers with each evolution it gains.
As for the artwork, Bulbaron’s typical sealed pods are replaced by a succulent plant that, in the real world, is characterized by its signature thick leaves that swell to trap moisture in the air. its native arid climate, yielding the extremely dry Bulbaron Skeleton provides a plausible explanation on which it is based. This amazing piece was provided by tattoo artist Lina Spice from Kulture Shock in Salt Lake City, Utah.
colorful cube
It’s hard to look this cool alone, but Cubone does it with ease, especially in tattoo form. This fact is even more evident in the artwork of a Pokémon called Loneliness.
With flowers in hand and tears in her eyes, even those unaware of its tragic circumstances could infer that it had endured some hardship. Coupled with a beautiful blend of beautiful purple, magenta and blue, the tattoo is both sad and intense. Tattoo artist Tiggy from Briar Rose Tattoo in the UK is responsible for perfectly portraying the lonely Cubone.
Mashup Clefairy/Gengar
When it comes to the incredible combination of normal/fairy Clefairy and ghost/dark Gengar, there’s probably no better yin and yang representation (in the Pokémon world at least). While completely opposite, their similar builds make them perfect to put together in this imaginative way.
The tune also works on multiple levels, in keeping with popular fan theory that Gengar is actually a shadow of Clefable, Clefairy’s evolved form. The tattoo artist for this creative piece is Aura Jane.
intense snoring
There’s nothing like a sleeping Snorlax in a better mood, but that’s not the vibe of this piece. Introduced to early Pokémon fans as a real roadblock, the Trainer must use a Poké Flute to awaken a sleeping Pokémon to access Routes 12 and 16.
However, the tattoo gives us a rare glimpse into the other side, turning Snorlax into a Godzilla-like monster that wreaks havoc and terrorizes the town, presumably because it wakes up too early. The precise style and shading make it look like a detailed comic book page, and the ink looks like skillful pencil strokes. The tattoo artist is Sean Mackay from Stormcrow Tattoo.

Dragon Ball
Another Mighty’s Powerful Cross Dragon ball Combined with Gyarados. Gyarados, the evolved form of the globally useless Magikarp, is easily one of the scariest Pokemon of any generation, rewarding trainers for taking the time to level up their poor fish Pokemon .
Although it looks a lot like a dragon, Gyarados is actually a dual flying/water type. But despite this, the artwork takes advantage of the Pokemon’s dragon nature, replacing the legendary Dragon Wishing God Shenron and leaving Gyarados in charge of the powerful Dragon Balls (and of course, a Poké Ball). Tattoo artist Rhodson is responsible for this powerful piece.
Gameboy Psyduck
Those who miss the peaceful days spending hours in a Gameboy shirt will revel in this tattoo. End of 1998 with yellow pokemonGameboy Colors is in the midst of a big wave of Pokémon video games (Red And blue Second generation launched in 1996 Yellow And silver released in 1999).
Psyduck is certainly a familiar sight, as the kind of unpredictable spirituality pops up in all five games and appears alongside Misty in the hit animated series. British tattoo artist Lee Hallam is responsible for this stunning piece.
Than Charizard
One of the coolest Pokémon ever created, it’s hard to go wrong with the Charizard tattoo. Charmander’s final evolved form, Charmander, Charizard, is easily one of the most famous and recognizable Pokémon in the franchise.
In keeping with its fiery nature, the tattoo itself resembles a charcoal drawing, without color, with its iconic form colored in black ink. Tattoo artist Seapazz from eleventhhourtattoo in Liverpool is responsible for this amazing piece.
Pikachu!

rainbow ghost

A great art theme. But this tattoo can transform its form into an even sexier Pokemon.
