Mickey Mouse is the most recognizable symbol of Disney, the animation and cartoon company that has been keeping kids entranced since 1928.

The lovable mouse is a hugely popular and influential tattoo motif, in all sorts of innovative ways. Mickey serves as the Disney company’s mascot. 

Mickey tattoos are symbolic of people’s affinity for Disney but also represent a link to our own childhood experiences, whether it’s cartoons, tv, theme parks, or other elements of the brand.

While the traditional black mouse, with white gloves and red pants, is a popular choice for many ink lovers, there are countless cool depictions of him.

In most instances, he is depicted as a cheerful creature, but there are awesome ironic tattoos of Evil Mickey, or contemporary designs utilizing technical applications that can create more complexity in the meaning.
