LC · ANIME & COLOUR
Colour anime, cartoon and character tattoos
Start from the expression, movement and defining details of a character, then rebuild the image for the body. LC uses outline, colour relationships and motion to preserve recognition and narrative rather than simply copying a screenshot.
STYLE GUIDE
Build a personal image from the character
The same character can become a portrait, action scene, emblem or manga panel. Identify the expression, motion and palette that matter most.
COMPOSITION
Action and manga panels
Dynamic poses, motion lines, props and panel framing can add narrative, but elements need a clear hierarchy.
COLOUR
Colour or black and grey
Colour preserves signature relationships; black and grey shifts attention to outline and contrast. Skin tone, scale and sun care also matter.
SELECTED WORK

Follow the cleaning and moisturising instructions during healing. After healing, sun protection reduces long-term UV exposure.

Anime tattoo questions
Can I request a specific character?
Yes. Send the character, source and preferred scene. The piece is adapted rather than copied directly from an online image.
Will colour become lighter after healing?
Colour normally appears softer after healing. Skin, sun exposure, friction and aftercare affect how it changes over time.
How large should a character tattoo be?
It depends on facial features, costume, props, background and colour areas. Dense ideas may need more space or fewer elements.
