I've gotten a whole sleeve, chest, and stomach piece from Lu over the last 15 years. Even though it's been a while, I still get tons of compliments. His work is great and when you're there it's just a good time. Very personable dude.

Steps

How the Sponsorship Works

I partner with Animetattoos.com to sponsor a few anime tattoos every month — up to $400 toward the project. The sponsorship isn’t for every tattoo, it’s meant for larger, portfolio-worthy pieces that both of us are excited about and that will be featured on my Animetattoos.com profile once complete.

Step 1 — Submit Your Idea

Share your anime tattoo concept using the submission form. This can be a character idea, a scene, a mashup, or a completely original concept inspired by your favorite moments.

What We Look For

What Makes a Sponsored Tattoo Idea Stand Out

Not every idea gets sponsored and that’s on purpose! We’re not looking for “another cool tattoo”. We’re looking for ideas that mean something to you.

It's Personal

The best ideas come from moments that stuck with you, the characters that got you through that low point, the scene you can bring yourself back to by closing your eyes.

1 of 1

Let’s be honest.. You probably don’t want the same tattoo as a thousand other people. Sponsored ideas are the ones that only belong to you.

Storytelling

The best tattoos aren’t just well done, they’re the moments that mean the most to you made permanent. A specific scene, turning point, or feeling you want to carry with you. If you can explain it, we can bring it to life!

Creativity

We’re looking for ideas that aren’t just copies of what’s already out there. A unique pose, a creative twist, a mashup of two characters who never met. Let’s tell a familiar story in a new way!
