What better combination of art forms is there than Disney and tattoos? Well, if you’re a Disney geek with tattoos (or a Disney geek who appreciates them), then there is nothing better. So when DeviantARTist Telegrafix aka Timothy John Shumate (who is also a tattoo artist) whips up some tattoo-friendly designs inspired by Disney, we’re bound to pay attention. After the jump, see more inked-up Disney princesses, and maybe even a past president.

Who could rock old school sailor tattoos better than the Little Mermaid herself? Hipster Ariel would point out that this would be “so meta,” I’m sure.

When you’ve had to deal with an evil stepmother, attempted murder, and seven roommates, it’s time to treat yourself to some personal art.

Minnie isn’t inked in this, but this is a new side of Mickey’s squeeze.

Onto the non-Disney princesses: An inked Lincoln.

This voodoo woman would be an unbelievably colorful, beautiful piece:

And, to conclude, Chtulhu, mustachioed, in a bowler. (Okay, just an octopus, but close enough.)

Who else thinks it’s time for Disney to consider tattooed protagonists?
