FAQs

What does a Disney castle tattoo symbolize?

There’s nothing more symbolic for kids that love Disney than the amazing Disneyland castle – the representative home to all the creatures and creations made by the studio.

It’s a fantastic tattoo theme for collectors that love all things Disney and don’t want to make the difficult decision to choose a favorite character, film, cartoon or show when booking in their body art.

Besides that, the design of the castle itself means all sorts of wondrous designs can be incorporated and instantly recognizable when made into a tattoo.

What style Disney tattoo should I get?

The explosion in tattoo popularity has resulted in a tremendous array of interesting tattoo styles and artistic applications.

Gone are rudimentary tattoo images of base color or black and gray, replaced by high quality rendered etchings in:

Single needle design
New wave and neo traditional full color
Old school and new school cartoon color palettes
Intricate and realistic portrait style for both Disney live action and animation
Badass black and gray photorealism or fine lined geometric

Again the choice is yours, and you’ll find the perfect match for your idea.

How much does a Disney tattoo cost?

There are several factors that can influence the price of a Disney tattoo. The following list outlines the key elements:

Size. Tattoo artists most often charge by the hour, so the bigger a piece is, the more expensive it will be
Detail. The more intricate a design is the longer it will take which also adds to the total cost of a piece. Single needle tattoos are usually the most expensive for small pieces
Color. A black line Disney tattoo will be at the cheaper end of the price spectrum, while a riotous, vibrant colored new wave cartoon design will cost quite a bit more
A traditional black and gray version of your Disney favorite would likely fall in the middle
Tattoo artists charge by the hour, with $100 being on the low side and some in demand, highly experienced artists charging $300 per hour
