A fun-loving and adventurous classic, Scooby Doo isn’t just for kids. A Scooby tattoo pays homage to a beloved and inventive piece of television.

Scooby Doo and his friends have been solving mysteries, hunting monsters, and busting bad guys since the ‘70s.

Originally aimed at children, “Scooby Doo, Where Are You!” and its subsequent spin offs have developed a massive cult following through the decades. Still popular today, Scooby Doo is recognized and adored by children and adults alike. A Scooby Doo tattoo, or one of any of his famous gang, is sure to inspire sentiment and nostalgia in its admirers.

Far from trendy or faddish cartoon tattoos, a Scooby Doo character tattoo will most likely be recognizable for the rest of its owner’s life. For a man who wants to honor one of his boyhood pleasures, a cartoon may elicit fond feelings of childhood. If one is on the fence about the longevity of a cartoon or whether it will retain its relevance throughout the years, you can rest assured Scooby Doo will very likely be around as long as you are. Over forty-five years old to date, Scooby Doo shows no signs of slowing down.

Scooby Doo has developed a following for its timeless, engrossing storyline and memorable characters. Besides Scooby Doo, the four other main characters in the show are Shaggy or Norville Rogers, Fred Jones, Velma Dinkley, and Daphne Blake. They make up Mystery Inc. and Fred’s van, Mystery Machine, takes them on adventures around the world.

Bear in mind, Scooby Doo and his buddy Shaggy have developed their own reputation in alternative and hippie communities, so a Scooby tattoo may garner some unexpected attention.

Suitable for all fans of this classic, Scooby Doo tattoos are a viable option for a man looking to show his appreciation of the tv hit, the time period, or the lifestyle.
