The leg is another popular location for Little Mermaid tattoo designs for several reasons. The calf, with its pronounced musculature, makes for a great canvas thanks to the natural, anatomical lines that a skilled tattoo artist can utilize to make for a more interesting Disney tattoo design.

The large size of the leg makes it ideal for big tattoos, while still retaining an added level of discretion compared to large work on the arms.

Ursula (not a friend), Flounder, Sebastian the Crab, and Scuttle the Seagull. The quirky and memorable characters from this classic Disney film provide plenty of subject matter for unique Little Mermaid tattoo designs. The pieces in this collection stick closely to the original Disney animation style and use bright colors to produce these clean tattoos.

One interesting piece uses subtle lines to recreate the draft lines from pre production, highlighting the act of animation that brought all these characters to life.
