Pocahontas was an iconic addition to the Disney lineup, as it added another layer of diversity to their list of princesses. She was wild and free in a way that inspired viewers of all ages, as she focused on the beauty of the natural world around her. Many have idolized her their entire lives, and some have even gone on to have a reminder of the film inked on themselves.
She has been around since 1995, but the tattoo artists behind these designs have reimagined her in new and interesting ways. Keep reading to see some of the best tattoos ever created of Flit, Meeko, and Pocahontas herself!
Taken Straight From The Film
This tattoo looks as if it was taken straight from the film, and the background on which this person's tattoo was placed gives it this effect. The use of color is astounding, as the various blues and pinks highlight her form and remind fans of her iconic song called Colors of the Wind. Russell Van Schaick is the artist behind this masterpiece, and his ability to blend colors is what made this tattoo one of the best out there.
Beautiful Brown Eyes
Fans are drawn to Pocahontas's big brown eyes in this tattoo, as it is one of her most defining features. The cascade of her hair behind her adds movement to the pieces, while the leaves in the foreground of the tattoo give it a bit of texture. Some things didn't make sense in the film, but that didn't stop Sareushtattoos from creating this inspired masterpiece.
Flit In Flight
Flit appears to be in flight in this tattoo as the use of blurred color and various shapes give it this appeal. Pocahontas may not have had a small hummingbird friend in real life, although, that hasn't stopped fans from obsessing over this little cutie. Claudia Denti created this tattoo that has fans, and other artist's alike, jealous of her use of fine lines in her final design.
A Modern-Day Rendition
An artist by the name of Rich Harris created this tattoo that gives a more realistic take on this Disney princess. The use of flat images around her face helps her look even more three-dimensional, while her makeup gives her a modern touch.
It almost looks as if it could be a cosplay of Pocahontas herself and one that fans would want to star in a live-action remake. This tattoo made this list because it is a different approach than most artists tend to take, which is why it is so sought after by Disney fans.
A Gorgeous Hummingbird
Flit looks absolutely stunning in this tattoo as both his wings and the leaves swirling around his body add movement to the piece. The use of blues and pinks to outline his body helps him stand out on their skin, especially as they have several other colorful tattoos close by to this one. Lady Chappelle created this tattoo that fans compare to other fan art pieces that others have created out of a passion for this princess.
The Gangs All Here
The tattoos fans request often focus on one character in the Pocahontas film, but this one decided to add both the princess herself and her animal sidekicks as well. Sammy Van Higgins is the artist behind this piece who managed to make it into a cohesive design by adding swirls of blues and purples in the background. Fans also adore how Pocahontas, Flit, and Meeko each show their unique personalities in this tattoo based on their various expressions.
A Quote To Remember
Quotes are a popular request that tattoo artists receive, and Earl Nixon was tasked with creating a tattoo that combined this person's favorite Disney princess quote and the film into one. This was actually spoken by Kekata, the Shaman of the village, but it is something that fans everywhere have chosen to live by.
They love the use of the compass to relate to this saying, as well as the watercolor design behind it which adds a splash of color. It is beautiful, as it relates to the film while it is something that only true fans will understand and recognize.
A Bit Of Darkness
This Pocahontas appears a bit more gothic than fans are used to, between the black lipstick and harsh lines. Brandon Bec is the artist behind this design who gave fans plenty to drink in between her gothic face, Meeko, and the shadowed image of her leaping off the waterfall. This film might not have been one of the highest-grossing of all time, but this tattoo proves why it should have been.
A Perfect Outline
Sometimes less is more, and this tattoo proves this to be true as the artist used an outline of her form, rather than filling in the entire image. It has a simplistic beauty to it, as the scarce use of orange combined with the darkness of her hair gives her a unique look. Ank Von Annika is the artist behind this tattoo who gave Pocahontas a new spin that no one saw coming.
Meeko And Friends
Meeko the raccoon is the star of this tattoo, but Flit and Percy make an appearance as well in honor of all the sidekicks in this film. He almost didn't make it into the final cut of the movie, and this tattoo proves that he was a favorite among fans. It is also a masterpiece as well due to the use of compatible colors and the fact that it tells its own story, and fans can thank Josie Sexton for this creation.
