“Hakuna Matata means no worries… it’s a problem-free philosophy.”

Hakuna Matata tattoos are reminders that going with the flow and taking life as it comes to you is a great way to get through.

As the father of small children, I’ve heard Timon and Pumba’s song from The Lion King on countless occasions. It’s quality life advice in a stressful world.

The lovable odd couple represents friendship and loyalty while cleaving to the idea that being true to your friends and not sweating the small stuff is the right way to live. They face their fears and fight for Simba because they’re his friends, but they do it with fun, style, and flatulence.

The following collection of Hakuna Matata tattoos showcase amazing examples of cool ink in a range of styles and applications that will provide you with inspiration for your next design.
