It’s a beautiful day in this neighborhood. Don’t you think? If you do, you might be a fan of the show, Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood. Depending on when you were born, this show was one of the biggest in its time. For me, Mr. Rogers was on all the time and I remember having a good feeling when watching the show. Many others did and it’s evident from all of the Fred Rogers tattoos that we have seen out there and we don’t blame you. There are a lot of good feelings associated with this man and so it’s no surprise we see Mr. Rogers tattoos around.

From the theme song to the great messages, Mr. Rogers filled are hearts with the “feel goods” for years and we are going to talk about it in this post. We will talk about who Fred Rogers was and the television show that made all of us so happy. We will also talk about some of the variations of the Mr. Rogers tattoo that we have seen out there. By the end of this post, we hope you have a better appreciation of Mr. Rogers and get a better feel for who he was in case you were thinking of getting your own Mr. Rogers tattoo.

About Mr. Rogers

Fred Rogers was born on March 20, 1928 in Pennsylvania. He was an ordained minister and also happened to be a puppeteer. He was the host of the television program, Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood. You would think that he was skilled enough, but Fred Rogers graduated with a degree in music composition. He ended up writing around 200 songs for the program, including the theme song we all know so well.

The show ran from 1968 to 2001. It aired for 31 seasons and had 912 episodes over the course of the show. It was primarily targeting kids ages 2 to 5 but was said to be appropriate for kids of all ages. Not only was it good for kids, but some adults are grateful for the show including Michael Keaton. Keaton got his start on the show as a stagehand. He appeared as the Purple Panda on the show.
