One of the most well known characters from the stories is the Cheshire Cat, a striped rotund feline with a wide, exuberant grin. He speaks in riddles and leads others to question and inquire about his paradoxes. The Cheshire Cat, often rendered in the violet and lavender stripes originated in the Disney film, is a representation of unorthodox genius. The cat is a wealth of intrigue and mystery, an image of mischief and cunning.

You’ll want to get a Cheshire Cat tattoo if you want to get a unique tattoo that represents your mysterious side. You could also get this Alice in Wonderland tattoo if you simply like that huge grin of his. Perhaps the best candidates for this tattoo are those who both love cats and love the Alice in Wonderland story. Regardless of why you get the Cheshire Cat tattoo, you should be sure to at least include that crazy grin of his since that it his trademark look.

The Mad Hatter is another paradoxical figure, both insane and a creature of intelligence. His mercury-induced madness is a symbol of lunacy within authority figures, but also a representation of the hardship of poverty in Britain in the 1800s. He is pictured with a large hat, featuring a card reading “10/6”, a reference to the price of the hats the Hatter sold at one time. Like the Cheshire Cat, the Hatter speaks in unfathomable riddles, but is an obstacle for Alice rather than a friend.

The Mad Hatter is a fantastic Alice in Wonderland tattoo to get if you like the look of the character, if you like the mix of crazy and smarts that he brings, or you just see yourself as the Mad Hatter of your group. Of course, you might check all three of those boxes, which would make this tattoo even more perfect for you! Mad Hatter tats are usually quite large to show off all of the character’s features in full detail, but you could also opt to just get his face or even just his hat if you wanted to.
