Ten Awesome Super Hero Tattoos
30 June '10 by , under Tattoo Designs.
Everybody’s got a hero. Sometimes heroes come from real life, and sometimes they come from movie screens, video games or the colorful pages of comic books. In some cases those iconic figures can be turned into permanent pieces of body art. This is a collection of 10 of the coolest Super Hero tattoos in Flickr’s Creative Commons. There are plenty more where these came from in the group Geek Tattoos.

Kicking it off is the group from DC comics. The first 2 share a Superman theme and both are particularly awesome because they take the classic superman figure, or symbol and turn it into something darker and unique. |

Known as the “Man of Steel” who is “faster than a speeding bullet, more powerful than a locomotive, and able to leap tall buildings in a single bound”, this Superman tattoo wants to encompass it all. |
 |
Staying in the Superman story, we have this homage to one of the many incarnations of Supergirl. Based on a sketch by comic book artist Michael Turner, this simple outline uses black lines and a little color to create a striking image. |

This next image is this daring depiction of the dark knight. As Superman’s colleague in the Justice League, Batman is the epitome of the enigmatic hero. |

Moving over to the other comic book giant, there are a bunch of killer images from the Marvel comic family. This one comes from the popular X-Men series. Though, not one of the most famous X-Men characters, Gambit is a hero with a dark side and the ability to use playing cards as a weapon. The way the cards are created gives the tattoo a real sense of motion and excitement. |

Next up from Marvel, is the iconic Spiderman. This particular rendition isn’t the likeness of Spider man but instead a creative and dynamic image of a Spiderman suit beneath the skin. This truly a unique and thrilling tattoo is full of action. |
 |
The final entry from Marvel is the ultimate homeland hero, Captain America. This popular wartime comic character is still a portrait of patriotism. This tattoo gives the avenger a real sense of heading into battle. |
 |
What happens when you combine one of the most famous movie characters with the ultimate video game icon? Jedi-Mario, that’s what. This hero tat integrates these two famed champions in a new fun way that creates a brand new kind of hero. |
 |
Up next is a tribute to a less well known video game hero, Mega Man X. The lead character of a popular Capcom game, X is a sentient robot and a protector of humans. |
 |
The last installment is a tribute to one of the world’s favorite group of mutant reptiles, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. This crime fighting team with the very long and explicit name originated in 1987, and still considered one of the best animated cartoon shows. This image captures the whole team in a classic pose. |
