Is he a villain? A true Naruto fan would defend Itachi, shown here in a full-color tattoo. Itachi is a covert ninja operative from the Anbu squad. He joined a criminal organization known as Akatsuki. After his death, it was revealed that he was merely acting in the interest of his younger brother Sasuke Uchiha and their village.

Here’s a tattoo artist’s interpretation of how Naruto is possessed by Kurama, the nine-tailed beast.  

If you’ve got a limited space for a tattoo, you can pay homage to the Naruto series with a simple tattoo of the kunai and the young ninja’s headband.

Small tattoos like this red cloud, the symbol of the Akatsuki, are perfect for fans who want to keep those not familiar with the anime series guessing about the design. 

Naruto and Sasuke, friends turned rivals, clash in this upper arm tattoo in bright colors. 

No, this is not some geometric tattoo design with a hidden meaning. It’s simply the seal of Naruto, which becomes visible only when our hero uses the nine-tailed beast’s chakra. The seal is located on Naruto’s abdomen, but you can have it etched anywhere you please, such as your upper arm.

Sakura is among the well-known characters of Naruto. She is a member of Team 7, which also includes Naruto and Sasuke. She’s a medical-nin who later got married to Sasuke. 

Naruto is in Sage Mode in this black and gray tattoo. This heightened state allows characters to absorb chakra from nature and use it to boost all their physical attributes.

Easily one of the creepiest Naruto tattoo ideas is this drawing of a giant eye seemingly embedded into a person’s leg or forearm. It’s inspired by the power called Sharingan, which turns the eyes red with black patterns and allows the ninja to copy, by mere sight, another ninja’s techniques. Kakashi and Sasuke have this ability.
