50 Sensational Sanrio Tattoos

Who's your favorite Sanrio character?

Sanrio is a Japanese company that’s made a tremendous impact on popular culture. They’re known for their kawaii designs and characters, specifically their mascot Hello Kitty. Although there are over 400 Sanrio characters, Hello Kitty is undeniably the most popular and commercially successful. Hello Kitty was designed by Yuko Shimizu and she made her debut in 1974. According to her backstory, she’s an anthropomorphized Japanese bobtail cat who resides in London, England with her family. Since the character’s creation, she’s been featured in books, movies, television shows, manga and games. She’s also been featured in countless product lines—from clothing to accessories to kitchenware to cars. By 2014, Hello Kitty was worn a staggering $8 billion a year and is one of the highest-grossing media franchises of all time (second only to Pokémon).

In honor of Hello Kitty’s impressive legacy, take a peek at 50 sensational Sanrio tattoos from talented artists around the globe. Then let us know your favorite character of the bunch in the comments section on social media.
