“Hakuna Matata means no worries… it’s a problem-free philosophy.” Hakuna Matata tattoos are reminders that going with the flow and taking life as it comes to you is a great way to get through. As the father of small children, I’ve heard Timon and Pumba’s song from The Lion King on countless occasions. It’s quality life advice in a stressful world. The lovable odd couple represents friendship and loyalty while cleaving to the idea that being true to your friends and not sweating the small stuff is the right way to live. They face their fears and fight for Simba because they’re his friends, but they do it with fun, style, and flatulence. The following collection of Hakuna Matata tattoos showcase amazing examples of cool ink in a range of styles and applications that will provide you with inspiration for your next design.

                        What do hakuna matata tattoos symbolize?                        

Hakuna Matata means no worries. Hakuna Matata tattoos are reminders that going with the flow and taking life as it comes is a great way to get through.  In The Lion King, lovable odd couple Timon and Pumba represent friendship and loyalty while clinging to the idea that being true to your friends and not sweating the small stuff is the right way to live.

                        Is there a hakuna matata symbol?                        

Hakuna Matata comes from the Swahili language, which is based on the Latin alphabet.  Disney created a glyph (and trademarked it) to represent the saying – it’s an extremely popular tattoo image – however, there is no real symbol defining Hakuna Matata.

                        What do Lion King tattoos symbolize?                        

Many tattoo collectors grew up with, and still love The Lion King and the lessons about friendship, family, loyalty, and determination that run throughout the film – the uplifting moral code which features in every Disney movie. With a cast of memorable characters, songs and voices, people can get various types and styles of tattoos that remind them of life’s lessons.

                        What style of hakuna matata tattoo should I get?                        

Most Hakuna Matata ink involves text, starting with stylized or cursive Hakuna Matata word tattoos. Others incorporate Hakuna Matata but also widen the imagery to incorporate characters from The Lion King, especially Simba, Timon, and Pumba.  These can come in simple black linework ink, classical black and gray, or even brightly colored Disney-style animation reflecting exactly how the characters look in the film.

                        How much does a hakuna matata tattoo cost?                        

A small script tattoo in black ink will cost anywhere between $100-$200 if done by an experienced professional. All shops have a shop minimum for small, easy pieces. A quality artist’s per hour price is around $150-$200 for more complex script pieces, bright color, and intricate black and gray style Lion King body art. Make sure you have a clear idea of the price before committing to the ink and remember that tipping (10-15% min) is customary for good work.
