Rick Sanchez Rick and Morty Tattoos

There is no denying that Rick is a complicated character. He is rude, careless, unkind, and downright despicable sometimes. At the same time, it is his genius and thorny personality that make the Rick and Morty show and the idea of a Rick and Morty tattoo so interesting.

Morty Smith Rick and Morty Tattoos

On the flip side, you may identify with Morty a bit more for your Rick and Morty tattoo. He tends to be the bumbling side character who is always down for an adventure.

In this case, you would want your Rick and Morty tattoo only with Morty in it:

And, while he isn't the sharpest tool in the drawer, he is certainly a loyal character. So, if you would like to see what Rick and Morty tattoos Rick not included would look like, here is your inspiration:

Rick and Morty Portal Tattoos

A lot of Rick and Morty adventures involve traveling through portals from one dimension to another. So, it only stands to reason that you get a Rick and Morty tattoo with them traveling through portals.

You can simply get a Rick and Morty tattoo of them walking into or walking out of a portal if you like.

If you would like a more creative Rick and Morty tattoo design, then you may want Morty, Rick, and other characters going into one portal on one arm or leg and then exiting that portal on the other limb.

This concept works really well for matching Rick and Morty tattoo concepts too!

Pickle Rick and Morty Tattoos

Pickle Rick is a surprisingly popular for tattoo ideas for Rick and Morty tattoos. This is probably cause this is one of the crazier episodes on the show.

In case you need a refresher for your Rick and Morty tattoo, Rick turns himself into a pickle and then proceeds to fight everyone from cockroaches and rats to secret Russian agents.

Of course you need a Rick and Morty tattoo of this episode - it practically spawned an entire movement. Even if you are not a fan of Rick and Morty, it is likely that you have heard something about this episode.

For some clarification, it is in this episode that Morty learns that flipping off a particular alien race isn't rude or disrespectful. Instead, it means peace between worlds!

Rick and Morty Alien Abduction Tattoos

This Rick and Morty tattoo is a bit of a swap on what usually happens on the show. They are usually the one being abducted but hey it is your Rick and Morty tattoo so you can do what you want.

What I like about this kind of Rick and Morty tattoo is that it is a riff off a traditional alien abduction tattoo design. So, you have a regular looking spaceship, complete with the beams.

Now, the following Rick and Morty tattoos will give you some idea of what to do with your own Rick and Morty tattoo. However, these are just guidelines.

Melting Rick and Morty Tattoos

I don't think anyone is quite sure where Melting Rick and Morty came from but they quickly became pretty popular around the fanbase. So, it looks like they are here to stay.

For this kind of Rick and Morty tattoo, you have the faces and bodies of Rick and Morty melting right off!

Although this can sound like a rather odd or gross concept for a Rick and Morty tattoo, it isn't. Instead, it is a cool way to add interest and dimension to your Rick and Morty tattoo.

Butter Bot Tattoos

A lot of the Rick and Morty episodes tend to be pretty out there and they don't always have a purpose other than entertainment. This is why you may imagine that you can only get a goofy Rick and Morty tattoo.

This is what makes the episode Something Ricked This Way Comes so different. It is also what broadens your horizons for the kind of Rick and Morty tattoo you can get.

Here, Rick invents a sophisticated, sentient robot.

However, his only purpose is to pass the butter. When the robot discovers that this is its only purpose, he is troubled. Eventually, though, it is able to put its various capabilities to good use.

This episode really does make you think quite a bit which makes it an excellent Rick and Morty tattoo to get. Perhaps you feel like you are in a dead end job despite being intelligent or capable. Or maybe you feel like you are lacking real purpose.

In any case, a butter bot Rick and Morty tattoo design is a great way to remind yourself of this deep and important moment in the show.

Open Your Eyes Rick and Morty Tattoos

For this type of Rick and Morty tattoo, Rick's eyes are wide open and he is propping Morty's eyes open too.

Now, everyone has their own idea of what this Rick and Morty tattoo means. The reigning theory, though, is that it is Rick opening up Morty's eyes to the possibilities of the universe.

After all, if it weren't for Rick, Morty would be leading a pretty uneventful and normal life. It is Rick that has opened up his worldview and shown him just what is out there.

There is also the fact that it is Rick who is always pushing the boundaries of what is and isn't possible. So, this is a pretty cool Rick and Morty tattoo design.

Rick and Morty Tattoo Collaborations

Want to take your Rick and Morty tattoo design to the next level or just do something different? You can consider combining Rick and Morty with other pop culture figures.

Here are some of the Rick and Morty tattoo concepts to get started with:

Now, for this kind of Rick and Morty tattoo, you have to decide what the main design concept is going to be. Is it going to primarily be a Rick and Morty tattoo with other collaborative elements included in?

Or, is your Rick and Morty tattoo going to heavily feature elements from the other storyline?

If you like Rick and Morty enough to get a Rick and Morty tattoo, there is a good chance that one of your favorite animated series growing up was The Simpsons. In fact, you can think of new school Rick and Morty as the evolution of The Simpsons.

So, why not combine both of these cartoons in your Rick and Morty tattoo? Here is a great idea to borrow from!

Personalized Rick and Morty Tattoos

If you are a super fan of the show, then you are going to want a Rick and Morty tattoo that really shows your dedication.

One way to do this is to get a Rick and Morty tattoo that includes some elements of your life. This could be getting a picture of you, another favorite character, or even your favorite pet alongside your Rick and Morty tattoo!

The options are endless for this kind of Rick and Morty tattoo so you should make an effort to practice your creative license with your tattoo design.
