One Disney film that has taken the world by storm is called Moana, as the movie adds a new layer of diversity to their princess lineup. Her ambitious nature and banter with Maui were memorable in the eyes of fans, not to mention the incredible journey she went on to save her people. This is why many have gone out and had tattoos inked on their body in memory of the film.
The tattoos they have added to their bodies feature several characters from the film, as well as objects that speak of the film's core plot. The artists employed their talents and their own passions for Moana when they came up with the designs for these amazing tattoos.
A Polynesian-Based Film
This film is based on Polynesian culture, which is why it is only right that this person tattooed Moana on their arm using this type of art. It might look basic to the naked eye, but the symbolic nature of it makes it into something even bigger and shows why Moana will become a classic character. Anna Jonas is the tattoo artist behind this piece who was able to use lines, dots, and a bit of shading to bring this Moana tattoo to life.
Heihei The Rooster
Heihei is the rooster who stowed away on Moana's boat and fans instantly grew attached to this sidekick. The way this tattoo utilizes watercolor and messy lines to give it texture and movement is part of what makes it so incredible, just like some of these pieces of fan art. The eyes of it really draw fans in which is probably what Claudia Denti Tattoo was going for when they came up with this design.
Maui's Hook And The Heart Of Te Fiti
The two most important objects in the film that made Moana's mission possible were Maui's hook and the heart of Te Fiti. It is why this fan decided to have them tattooed on their bod and the detail will take any fan's breath away. The fine lines on the hook combined with the swirl of color in the heart are something only a true artist could ink, which is why Natalie Morguette is one of the best.
A Modern Take On Moana
This is a modern take on Moana, as well as a slightly older version of this character, even though there are some amazing baby Moana memes. Fans adore how she is covered in tattoos, which Maui would definitely approve of, and how the artist put an emphasis on her eyes.
This tattoo is filled with life and color which the artist named Lilian Raya masterfully added to the design. The multitude of lines that make up her hair shows attention to detail as each permanent placement had to be right the first time around.
A Gorgeous Te Ka & Te Fiti Sleeve
Te Ka and Te Fiti were one and the same and this artist decided to honor their duality in this sleeve. The cohesiveness of the piece as it looks like Ying and Yang is gorgeous as the red and green intertwine in a unique way, which is also why it is the perfect movie to stream this holiday season. Japaartwork is the mastermind behind this piece that has every Moana fan dreaming of inking a similar tattoo on their bodies.
The Kakamora
The Kakamora looked adorable at first until it was revealed that they were just a band of pirates who would stop at nothing to obtain their prize. Claudia Denti Tattoo decided to create a black and white design for this creature and it highlights the many facets of its body. The variety of lines adds texture to the piece and gives it dimension based on the shadowed areas of its form.
A Reincarnation
Moana's grandmother was reincarnated as a giant blue stingray in this movie, and many viewers wish the same fate for themselves. Natalie True Ink is the tattoo artist who came up with this design that puts the stingray as the focal point of their creation.
They even managed to include the heart of Te Fiti and a few other small elements relating to the film that remind fans of the grandmother's importance to the plot. The shadowing behind the images as a whole helps it stand out even further and proves why it is better than any tattoo of The Little Mermaid.
Moana And Maui
Moana and Maui were a dynamic duo and this tattoo artist decided to recreate them for this fan and she looks as realistic as some of these cosplays. The detail in this tattoo is breathtaking as not a single feature was missed, even when it came down to all of Maui's tattoos. This is artistry at its finest as Trang_tattoos showed off their talent by agreeing to take on this challenge for a true Moana fan.
Becoming A Wayfinder
Wayfinding is the art of navigation and a skill that Moana learned while on her grand adventure. This tattoo pays respect to this as it features her boat and a wave crashing over it in a beautiful circular design. Eden_tattoo_ created this masterpiece and their decision to stick with a minimal color scheme makes it perfect for fans who desire something simpler to be tatted on their bodies.
Tamatoa Loves Shiny Things
The giant crab named Tamatoa sang one of the best songs in the film which is probably why this fan wanted him tattooed on their body. The addition of some of the lyrics from the song by the artist named Bex Heath was a nice touch, and the color scheme is incredible. His shell even looks like it's covered in glittering gold and the way his legs seem to shimmer only adds to this notion of his obsession with valuable items.
