Classic Disney film Peter Pan holds a special place in the hearts of families around the world. For some of these devoted fans Peter Pan tattoos are the perfect way to show that they are still young at heart.

The animation in the film is a great example of Disney’s Golden Age, and the classic style provides endless inspiration for unique Peter Pan tattoo ideas.

Using a variety of approaches in a number of inspired designs, the 70+ Peter Pan tattoos in this collection demonstrate just how compelling a piece of body art can be when such a meaningful and adored character is the subject.

1. Black and Gray Peter Pan Tattoo Designs

Despite the fact that the original Disney movie was animated in color, a black and gray approach can be expertly utilized to create stunning Peter Pan tattoo designs. Through the use of precise linework and smooth shading, each tattoo artist utilizes black and gray ink to produce pieces that perfectly recreate this classic Disney character.

Whether Peter Pan is shown flying across the night sky, his characteristic form backlit by the moon, or sitting with a sly grin and thinking happy thoughts, these tattoo designs show just how successful a black and gray approach can be.

For these body art enthusiasts, a full-color tattoo approach is the only way to complete their meaningful Peter Pan tattoo design. While several of these pieces perfectly recreate the characters and scenes from the Disney film, another approach perfectly suited to a Peter Pan color tattoo is slightly different.
