Yugioh (or Yu-Gi-Oh!) is a Japanese trading card battle game that has spawned popular manga, anime television shows, films, video games, and merchandise. 

Yugioh tattoo ideas have become a popular niche tattoo for old school battle card game players and fans of anime. It is especially loved by those that aren’t as excited by traditional fighting anime, such as Pokemon.

The show ran from 1996 to 2004. It tells the story of Yugi Mutou, a bullied child who used various games to settle conflicts in his life. Yugi solves the Millenium Puzzle. This awakens a gambling spirit that protects Yugi and his friends when threatened.

The moral of Yugioh’s story is the theme of hidden strength and the meaning of friendship. These themes make the manga a popular choice for youngsters who grew up with Yugioh and want to get body art.

The following 15 tattoo ideas showcase a number of tattoo styles that may provide the catalyst for your own Yugioh-themed tattoo design.
