One of the most recognized characters in the Pokemon franchise, Charmander is the sparky little lizard that grows into a monstrous fire breathing badass.

Show your evolutionary potential and deep love of classic video games and cartoons with a tattoo of this torchy baby dragon.

As any true Pokemon fan knows, Charmander is the original fire starter in the very first game that began it all. He also shows up in the anime as a lonely underdog who works hard to reach his full fiery potential as one of the strongest Pokemon around. For fans, he symbolizes the unbeatable spirit of a powerful warrior wrapped up in a disarmingly cute package. He sets fire to the competition and can rain down burning destruction even in his tiny unevolved form.

Dragons have long been revered symbols of self-reliance, defiance, authority and ultimate power. Charmander adds the unexpected twist of all that power wrapped up in a cute and brightly colored package of adorable flaming death. With connotations of the element of fire, the metamorphic power of evolutionary growth, and being an original and fierce warrior, Charmander is a killer tattoo choice for video game fans who like to dare others not to take them seriously.

Whether he’s a pixelated old school tribute to the original Nintendo games of 20 years ago or a fully rendered fire-breathing anime dragon superhero, Charmander makes a cool and quirky cartoon addition to your body art collection.
