55 Impressive ‘Looney Tunes’ Tattoos

Take a trip back to childhood with these cartoonish tattoos.

In 1929, “Looney Tunes” conceived by Warner Bros. to compete against Walt Disney’s Mickey Mouse cartoons and to promote their music. Throughout the long running series, as well as the sister cartoon “Merrie Melodies,” Warner Bros. gave audiences some of the most beloved cartoon characters of all time—including Bugs Bunny, Marvin the Martian and Daffy Duck. Today, many children continue to watch these cartoons and many adults have grown up with them. Take a look at some of our favorite “Looney Tunes” tattoos inspired by some of the most popular characters in the gallery below and let us know your favorite cartoon from this franchise in the comments section on social media.

Bugs Bunny

Bugs Bunny is one of the most celebrated characters in the “Looney Tunes” cartoon franchise. He was first introduced in 1940 through the short film “The Wild Hare” and was originally voiced by actor Mel Blanc. Between 1940 and 1964, Bugs was depicted in over 160 cartoons and today, he’s appeared in more films that any other cartoon character.

Catchphrase: “What’s up Doc?”
