With childlike wonder and coldhearted comeuppance combined into one darkly magical and candy colored story, it’s easy to see why Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is such an enduring and timeless classic.

The genius mastermind orchestrating the whole show is Willy Wonka himself, a candy creator with a wily wicked side who makes a great tattoo choice for those who love fun had and justice served in equal measures.

Whether he’s played by Gene Wilder, Johnny Depp, or an illustrated figure cavorting in your favorite classic childhood book, Willy Wonka is a colorful and mysterious figure famous for his skill at confectionery creation. However, his devilish playfulness manifests in far more gleefully dark ways in the story as he deals out bizarrely fitting punishments to children who commit the crimes of selfishness, greed and egocentricity. He rewards Charlie’s innocence and ardor with a fortune in candy, making it a classic tale of wrongs righted in the most ridiculous and zany way possible.

Quirky lovers of justice and mischief could find inspiration for their next perfect piece in the pages of this Roald Dahl classic. Whether it’s a photorealistic portrait of one of the actors to portray this outrageous character, a carefree doodle of one of the original wild and jittery illustrations, or simply a golden ticket to bring good luck, a Willy Wonka tattoo is a unique and creative way to show a love of fun and candy, as well as a hidden dark side and a deep sense of justice.
