I've done tons of tattoos for anime fans, and I'm convinced that the Itachi Uchiha tattoo is the coolest tattoo any anime lover can get. His calm facial features look so good when drawn, especially if done using colors that give the tattoo that real anime vibe.
His action poses are the most requested, they are usually gotten as a sleeve tattoo. Small Itachi tattoo designs also look great. You can get an Itachi and Sasuke tattoo with a friend or loved one to serve as a symbol of your bond.
Itachi is a fantastic character for fans to get tattooed. If you would like to discover the elements you can use in this design, hop on and let's explore.
Itachi tattoo designs on the whole sleeve are a popular choice amongst fans of the Naruto anime series.
The tattoo is done in an intricate pattern that looks great and helps you give off a cool vibe.

Itachi Uchiha tattoo on the arm usually comes in two forms. You can either get a small minimalistic Itachi tattoo or opt for a broad one that shows Itachi in a fierce battle. People tend to find the latter more aesthetically pleasing.

A good number of Itachi tattoos are done on the forearm. Most tattoos in this section are those of Itachi's eye within an Akatsuki cloud or inside a kunai.
Forearm tattoos look great, if you have muscular arms. The skin on the forearm is very thick, making it a moderate pain region for tattoos. This is why many people consider getting an Itachi Uchiha tattoo on the forearm.

Itachi Uchiha tattoo images on the shoulder are usually broad and extend down toward the chest and back.
While an image of Itachi can be gotten here, most people opt for the Sasuke curse mark. The curse mark gives Itachi the ability to draw more powers during battle, but at the expense of his free will which he loses to Orochimaru.
The curse mark is shaped like a tomoe, it is usually tattooed as a circle that starts from the shoulder and spreads across to the neck and back region.

In Naruto, Sharingan is the ability to copy an opponent's own fight technique merely by sight and allows ninjas to quickly develop new fighting skills after little exposure.
Itachi possesses one of the strongest Sharingan in the entire Naruto series and when he activates it, you know tons of action is about to go down. This is why some fans get the tattoo.
You can get your Itachi Sharingan tattoo on any part of your body. However, it looks extra great on the thigh area due to the wideness and length of the thighs, which makes it easy to get a broad and long tattoo.

Itachi safeguarded the eye of Shisui on a crow. This way, the kotoamatsukami which was Shisui's sharingan could be passed onto someone worthy who ultimately happened to be Naruto.
The responsibility to safeguard the eye was bestowed upon him because he is a zen survivor (someone who is wiser than his age).
If you're someone who has tons of responsibilities on you, you can get the Itachi crow tattoo design as an inspiration to keep things going even when times are hard.

Itachi anbu tattoo features Itachi with the anbu mask. In most of the images, he is shown either holding the mask in his hand or with the mask slightly shifted to the side to show parts of the face.
The mask can act as a representation of the dual personality or identify of the wearer. Some of my clients who get this tattoo tell me the mask acts as a reminder that we all show different versions of ourselves to other people.
This tattoo works best as a black pencil drawn design but you can add hints of red to make it more sophisticated.

Black and grey Itachi Uchiha tattoo designs have a cool and subtle look. They look pencil drawn and are awesome for people that like sketch-like tattoos.

Itachi wore the Uchiha crest symbol throughout the manga series, and this inspired the tattoo.

Before getting your Itachi Uchiha tattoo, it is very important to understand Itachi Uchiha as a character in the Naruto manga and the anime series.
Itachi Uchiha was ready to make drastic moves to bring about peace in the long term.
At the young age of 14 years, Itachi murdered his entire clan when he realized they were planning to take over the village in a coup d'etat.
The only family member that survived the wrath of Itachi Uchiha was Sasuke Uchiha, his beloved little brother.
Itachi's decision to save his brother was deliberate. He gave Sasuke the impression that he killed the entire family in cold blood for no reason. This made Sasuke grow tough with a resolution to avenge the Uchiha clan.
In the end of the Naruto Manga, Sasuke Uchiha was successful in defeating Itachi. This was actually all part of Itachi's plan of meeting Karma at the hands of his brother for his murder of the Uchiha Clan.
There are several reasons people go for the Itachi Uchiha tattoo.
Most people simply love the personality of Itachi and they pay tribute to the character by getting his tattoo.
For some, the qualities of loyalty and sacrifice possessed by Itachi resonates well with them, which is what they express through an Itachi tattoo.
Another reason why some people get the Itachi tattoo is the complexity of their design. They are attention-grabbing and aesthetically astounding making them great tattoos for men and women.
Akatsuki is a group of Shinobi whose ultimate goal is to make the world a better place.
An Akatsuki tattoo represents this goal, making it a great tattoo of choice for selfless people with similar intentions.
An Uchiha tattoo represents the collective powers of members of the Uchiha clan.
Kakashi was the leader of team 7. Although he had an apathetic personality, he never joked about his responsibility toward the development of the primary characters in the series.
A Kakashi tattoo symbolizes dedication, leadership, and courage portrayed by Kakashi throughout the series.
Itachi tattoos cost anywhere between $50 to $1000. This depends on the size, complexity, and other modifications of the tattoo.
Getting a Naruto Itachi tattoo is a nice way to express your love for the manga series. Depending on your personal preference, you can get a small Itachi tattoo or a much larger one. Regardless of the type you decide to get, you'll feel satisfied after getting the tattoo of your favorite character from the series.
