Tattoos from Tarantino Films

From Mr. Pink refusing to tip to Rick Dalton barbecuing people with a flame thrower, we're going on a journey through tattoos from Quentin Tarantino's films.

Whether you like his films or loathe them, it’s undeniable that Quentin Tarantino is one of the most important filmmakers of all-time. 

Tarantino will be celebrating his birthday on March 27th, so as a gift to him, we wanted to feature some of the amazing tattoos that we’ve found based on his films. 

There are so many iconic scenes throughout his catalog. The dance scene at Jack Rabbit Slim’s. Lt. Aldo Raine carving a swastika into a German’s forehead. The Crazy 88 falling victim to the Bride’s Hanzo sword. Django riding proudly on a horse in his new clothes. Mr. Blonde holding a police officer’s severed ear up to his lips and saying hello. And honestly, this barely scratches the surface. 

Few writers have the gift for dialogue that Tarantino has. The man loves to talk about anything and everything, his gift is being able to work these often ridiculous conversations into a script naturally. Many of his scenes feel as if they were improvised, but improvised by the wittiest humans on Earth. 

So tune your radio in to K Billy’s Super Sounds of the Seventies, and enjoy this gallery of Tarantino-inspired tattoos. I’m hungry, let’s get a taco.

Siempre me preguntan. Porque Funky Mamba? Bueno hoy les diré porque Mamba… “la Mamba negra” nombre en clave de la protagonista de Kill Bill, una película que sencillamente me cambio, la manera tan sublime en la que Tarantino logra unir su estilo de cine con la cultura oriental es en pocas palabras sublime, el que vio la película y el que conoce Funky sabrá de lo que hablo, mis influencias van más allá de una serie de anime…. Hoy quiero dejarlo con este homenaje a uno de los antagonistas de la película, el origen de la asesina O-Ren Ishi, la historia violenta de muerte y venganza, la pequeña O-Ren marcada por la sangre. Animada por los creadores de blood: the Last vampire de una manera increíble. Gracias a @catagalindoc por el@apoyo incondicional, ame esta pieza para ti ✌ . . . . #tattoos #tatuajes #tatuadorescolombianos #Sketch #Sketchtattoo #animetattoo #dragonball #dbzlover #blackwork #gamerink #epicgametattoo #animemasterink #dbz #dbzdrawing #dbzdrawings #geeksterink #gantz #tarantino #tarantinofilms #killbill #killbillvol1 #killbilltattoo

We were able to find tattoos representative of almost every single one of his films, which is why it came as quite a shock that we couldn’t scrounge up any tattoos from “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.” Doesn’t somebody out there want to get a little banger of Leo doing that ridiculous dance? C’mon, people. C’mon….
