The Keyblade is a special weapon wielded by main characters in Kingdom hearts, such as Sora and King Mickey. It’s usually used in traditional hack and slash strategies, but has a range of other uses within the game.

These tattoos show off the Keyblade in superb fashion, coursing through a range of design ideas and applications. All are effective and tremendously varied in execution. I particularly like the interaction of shape and crisp color for these weapons, adding to the weapon’s mystique with clarity of depiction and epic, innovative style.

4. Full Color Kingdom Hearts Collages

Kingdom Hearts may be based on Disney, however there is a wide swathe of different styles that can be drawn upon to make quality body art. These color tattoos do a fantastic job of mixing up full color compositions, whether they’re done with cartoon like crisp flat fill, negative space and shapely framing, or shadowy contrasting colors and incorporation of neo traditional effects

5. Black and Gray Kingdom Hearts Tattoos

Just because Kingdom Hearts is a video game, doesn’t mean it’s restricted to high octane, bright color ink designs. These black and gray examples run the gamut of black and gray delineation. There’s the nuance of painstaking dotwork, saturated gray scale shading, fine needle black fill, and some brilliant delivery of clean, crisp linework.

6. Colorful Kingdom Hearts Tattoos

There’s some bad ass color options to utilize in drawing up Kingdom Hearts tattoos. There’s the natural Disney and Pixar connections, meshed with bright colors inherent to the popular Japanese traditional color palettes.

The examples above are like kid’s coloring books brought to life, with the innovative thrust of strange imagery added in to crank up the new wave aspects to eleven. Equally important to the wide variety of color schemes for these pieces is the necessity of using clean, slightly thicker black line conveying scale and balance to the riot of vivid ink.
