The artwork of Sui Ishida’s dark fantasy manga series Tokyo Ghoul is a popular topic for tattoo designs. Tokyo Ghoul’s titular characters live amongst men and need to eat human flesh to survive, with the series main protagonist Ken Kaneki becoming a half-ghoul straddling the world of humans and flesh eaters. It’s dark and interesting, and as is the way of Japanese anime, there are spin-offs, sequels, and prequels to draw tattoo inspiration from in both print, TV, and film form. For those unfamiliar with Tokyo Ghoul but intrigued by the show, watch the trailer below.

The Tokyo Ghoul TV and film titles have switched from Studio Pierrot and are now owned by Madman Entertainment, who are expected to continue the franchise on screens in the future. Check out the top 47+ Tokyo Ghoul tattoo ideas that you can incorporate into your next piece of contemporary Japanese tattoo art.

The ghouls in Tokyo Ghoul’s story look like humans and live amongst men. They feed off human flesh to survive. They can however create half ghouls – like Ken Kaneki – after he survived a ghoul attack when his date tried to eat him, and he received some of her organs during life-saving surgery

                        What are the popular styles of Tokyo Ghoul Tattoos?

Tokyo Ghoul tattoos mostly come in two categories:

Neo-traditional anime style, which is bright and bold despite the dark imagery. Classic manga style which tends to be depict subdued images etched in style reminiscent of the print form of storytelling.

There are also a few different tattoos mirroring the character’s body art or small pieces done in simple black ink.  

                        What are some popular tattoo themes from Tokyo Ghoul?

Ken Kaneki, the main character who is “taken in by a group of ghouls after his attack and transformation into a half-ghoul.” Uta is a ghoul and main antagonist during the series. He makes masks other ghouls use to hide from the CCG, the shadowy organization tasked with destroying them. Kaneki’s mask – which is mainly made out of leather that covers most of Kaneki’s face with the exception of his left eye and hair (it’s also zipped which allows him to feed). The Spider Lily (Higanbana) is a famous flower in Japan associated with loss, longing, abandonment, and lost memories. It’s used to symbolize everything Kaneki has lost during his transformation from human to half-ghoul.
