Check out the tattoos the controversial King of Youtube PewDiePie has inked and what they mean. Explore their esoteric design and the reasoning behind them. 

Not too long ago the thought of getting rich from releasing videos about playing video games was nonsense, yet that is exactly what Felix Arvid Ulf Kjellberg—better known as PewDiePie—has done. Born in Sweden, PewDiePie has built a fortune uploading videos of himself playing a variety of videogames on the Let’s Play platform, as well as comedy shows and skits.

In fact, from 2014 to 2017 PewDiePie had the most viewed YouTube channel on the platform. These days he maintains over 100 million subscribers around the world. With an estimated net worth of 30 million USD it’s no surprise that people have taken notice of PewDiePie.

While most of the attention aimed at Felix comes in the form of commentary on his videos, he has gained a level of celebrity among his devoted followers, and his tattoos have become a topic of conversation in the Bro Army (the name given to Pewd’s fan base). His ink is eclectic in style, although an illustrative approach is evident in most of his work.

Far from fully inked, PewDiePie’s Six tattoos utilize a few different styles to produce interesting designs that are informed by his love of art and pop culture. Here, we will take a closer look at the Swedish phenom’s one of a kind ink.

Located on his left upper arm, Pewds has a tattoo of a frog playing the trumpet, produced using a loose, illustrative approach and black and gray ink. Designed and applied by Osaka based artist, Haskey, Pewds got the tattoo while in Japan as a tribute to a lost pet. Named Slippy, this piece is dedicated to the pet frog that Pewds lost. On the Instagram post where he debuted the ink he included the caption, “A tribute to an ol’ pal.”
