Soul King Brook

In 2024 One Piece is now the highest selling Comic Book in the World. Surpassing the sales of both Superman and Batman, while continuing a run for 20 plus years unlike any anime before. 

One piece as a manga/anime series is a story that we will probably never see again. With the trend of manga and anime going for jaw dropping spectacles as early as possible to avoid being dropped from weekly serialization.

One piece as manga was given a unique oppertunity to grow and thrive into a world with hundreds of characters, dozens of subplots and themes.

The love of the One Piece, World Wide is as big as it's ever been, and what better way to show your love for this amazing show than getting a tattoo immortalizing your favorite moments and characters!

Artist-Larry Hardesty 

This first tattoo by Larry captures Brook’s dual nature perfectly. The details are spot on: his Whole Cake Island outfit is stylish and detailed, with his top hat, afro, and cane all meticulously inked.

The reflection in his sword is a brilliant touch, showing Brook as he was when alive, adding a layer of depth to the piece. It’s a beautiful representation of Brook’s journey from life to death and back again, a perfect piece for the MVP of the Whole Cake Island Arc. 

Doflamingo

Artist-Marcus Ottner

This next tattoo by Marcus features Doflamingo, a favorite villain for many One Piece fans—and for good reason. Not only is he cool, but he’s also smart, twisted, and calculated. This tattoo is nothing short of a masterpiece.

The colors are vibrant, bringing Doflamingo's iconic pink feathered coat to life. His facial expression captures his menacing and confident demeanor perfectly. The string-string fruit he’s holding adds a dynamic touch, showcasing the source of his deadly abilities.

Marcus's attention to detail is stunning, making this tattoo a true work of art.

Zoro and Sanji

Artist-Mike Valentin

This next tattoo by Mike features a clean double portrait of the Wings of the Pirate King, Zoro and Sanji. What makes this piece really hit is its callback to when both characters reached the peak of their strength in Wano.

Zoro is shown fully unlocking his Conqueror's Coating, taking out King with his King of Hell three-sword style. And  Sanji at the bottom after finally accepting his Germa 66 genes, upgrades to Ifrit Jambe to defeat Queen.

Mike's work captures these elements beautifully, If you're a fan of Zoro and Sanji, this tattoo is a standout choice.

Shanks

Artist-Alexis Lapidus

This piece by Alexis speaks for itself—the perfect Shanks tattoo. The details on this piece are amazing, with incredible shading and line work that really bring it to life. But it’s the finer details that truly sell this piece.

Shanks is depicted holding the iconic straw hat in his hand, and if you look closely, you’ll notice treasures beneath it. Hidden among them is the greatest treasure of all: the Gum-Gum Fruit, right in the middle.

Alexis's attention to detail makes this tattoo a standout, capturing the essence of Shanks and his significance in the One Piece world.

GEAR 5/ Post Marine Ford

Artist-Sebastian Olivares

Now this tattoo by Sebastian has to be one of my favorite One Piece tattoos of all time. What’s not to love? On the right, you have Luffy at his lowest, after losing his brother.

But then, on the left, you see Luffy at his absolute peak in Gear 5, in the awakening of his fruit, the Nika Nika no Mi, as Joyboy.

This piece perfectly captures Luffy's incredible journey—from his moments from his lowest, to his peak!

The contrast between his expressions and the vibrant colors make this tattoo a standout. Sebastian’s work on this piece is phenomenal, capturing the essence of Luffy’s character and his epic transformation.

If you’re a One Piece fan, this tattoo by Sebastian is a powerful and visually stunning representation of Luffy’s enduring spirit and growth.
