One Punch Man isn’t just another action anime — it’s a mix of absurd comedy, insane fights, and surprisingly deep character arcs. From Saitama’s endless search for excitement to Genos’ relentless drive for revenge, every episode finds the balance between humor and heart.
Now that the new season is here and the Monster Association arc is finally being animated, fans are losing it (for good reason). With Garou’s transformation, the return of our favorite heroes, and some of the best animation the series has ever had — it’s the perfect time to celebrate with some peak One Punch Man ink.
Genos
Artist: Hunter Dark
This piece by Hunter Dark captures Genos mid-battle — one eye shattered, circuits sparking, and his reactor glowing with power. Genos is more than just Saitama’s student; he’s the emotional core of the show. His intensity and loyalty ground the story, and this tattoo perfectly reflects that. The use of glowing oranges and cold blues gives the piece a real sense of energy and contrast, matching his drive to keep pushing forward no matter how broken he gets.
Saitama
Artist: Kirill Dare
Kirill Dare’s tattoo of Saitama is pure confidence. Standing tall with that bored but unshakable expression, he’s the hero who can end any fight with one punch — and somehow still make it funny. The soft shading on his suit, the bold red of the gloves, and the cracked background create a comic-book realism that fits him perfectly. It’s a reminder that even the strongest hero can feel stuck searching for purpose.
Tatsumaki
Artist: Autumn Jolly
This tattoo by Autumn Jolly brings Tatsumaki — the Tornado of Terror — to life with stunning detail. Her psychic power swirls around her, giving motion to the black-and-gray design, while the subtle green glow around her eyes makes her presence unmistakable. Tatsumaki’s personality is as fierce as her powers, and this tattoo captures both her confidence and chaos effortlessly. Expect her to have some big moments in the next arcs — she’s got a storm brewing.
Artist: Rhur Rhur
Rhur Rhur’s take on Garou shows him mid-attack, red hair blazing and eyes locked in fury. It’s the moment where he’s not quite hero or villain — just a man lost in his ideology. The Monster Association arc is already setting him up as one of the best antiheroes in modern anime, and this tattoo nails his energy: chaotic, powerful, and driven. Watching Garou’s descent and evolution this season is going to be something special.
Saitama vs. Cosmic Garou
Artist: Jacob Escosa
This final piece by Jacob Escosa captures one of the most emotional moments in One Punch Man. Saitama stands there, arriving just a little too late, reflecting on the destruction around him. His line — “I always arrive too late” — hits harder than any punch he’s ever thrown. It’s quiet, raw, and perfectly sets up the battle that follows: Saitama vs. Cosmic Garou. The tattoo’s black-and-white manga-style shading makes it look straight off the page, turning this iconic scene into a timeless piece of art.
