30 Magical ‘Sailor Moon’ Tattoos

Who's your favorite Sailor Scout?

In 1991, artist and writer Naoko Takeuchi created the manga “Sailor Moon.” And just one year later in 1992, it was adapted by Toei Company into the anime millions around the world know and love. “Sailor Moon” follows an ordinary school girl named Usagi Tsukino who learns that she’s Sailor Moon—an intergalactic Sailor Guardian who’s destined to save the world from evil forces. Tsukino learns of this life altering information from Luna, a talking black cat who gives her a Transformation Brooch that allows her to turn into Sailor Moon. As Tsukino begins fighting crimes, she starts meeting other Sailor Guardians beginning with Sailor Mercury, Sailor Mars, Sailor Jupiter and Sailor Venus, who come together to form a crime fighting squad.

The anime series ran from 1992 to 1997 and pumped out several animated films including “Sailor Moon R: The Movie” in 1993, “Sailor Moon S: The Movie” in 1994 and “Sailor Moon SuperS: The Movie” in 1995. Takeuchi and Toei created a live action television series “Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon” in 2003, however unlike the anime this show didn’t have an international impact and only got one season. In 2014, “Sailor Moon” was rebooted with “Sailor Moon Crystal,” which was a huge update in animation and stuck closer to the original source material. “Sailor Moon Crystal” ran for three seasons, covering the series in three parts: “Dark Kingdom,” “Black Moon” and “Death Busters.” “Sailor Moon Crystal” is set to have an animated film series titled “Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon Eternal, airing in 2021. The first part is expected to drop on January 8th and part two will be released on February 11th. This film series marks the 30th anniversary of the release of the original manga.

In honor of the nearly 30 year legacy of “Sailor Moon,” take a look at some of our favorite tattoos inspired by this anime.

wowee, Thankyou everyone who came in the last 3 days and got a tattoo to support @blklivesmatter Seattle freedom fund. Together we were able to raise $2400!! ╰(*´︶`*)╯♡ If you missed an awesome opportunity to get a tattoo and support a good cause, you can still donate to the Seattle freedom fund or any fund you choose to do so @blklivesmatter. Their website is an awesome source of information and resource links! I also have a resource link in my bio! I still feel it’s important that we are all doing our part, so get out there if you’re well enough to do so! Donate or have hard conversations with family and friends. Most importantly look within yourself and see how you can change to be a better person. None of us are saints, and that’s ok. what matters is we are acknowledging shitty behavior and changing it. keep it up world, and keep it up Seattle! I’m proud to call Seattle my home. If you’re not from here, I want you to know the city IS NOT being over run by antifa anarchists. The city feels safer then its ever felt Black community members are doing speeches and the community is planting a huge garden to grow food for people. There is beautiful art everywhere. The big media is painting a picture of domestic terrorism when it’s not true. Stay safe Seattle and keep it up. He’ll never stoop us.

Moon Duality . “If we never experience the chill of a dark winter, it is very unlikely that we will ever cherish the warmth of a bright summer’s day” . I would love to work more on dualities They inspire me so much since I always felt like is really hard to get the balance in life, I tend to go to the extreme, hot or cold, light or dark. I would like to think that is part of living the life to the extreme . But yes! Is really fun to put opposites in the same design ✨ I would love to do more like this, and creepy cute ✨ . ༶•┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈୨♡୧┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈•༶ .
