Black Panther Tattoo Ideas

When looking for an inspiring tattoo design, Black Panther is a great choice. The sleek black coating of the panther combined with its fearless attitude and immense power makes it an excellent symbol to represent yourself as well as your unique personality. To help you find the best Black Panther tattoo design we have listed here some of our favorite ideas:

1. Black Panther Silhouette: A silhouette or outline of a panther stalking through grass or trees is often used as a powerful representation of determination and resilience. This iconic design has been a staple of body art since the mid-1920s but now it is even more popular due to the minimalist Black Panther logo from Marvel.

2.  Portrait of Boseman’s Black Panther: You can likewise opt for a bold portrait of a black panther in full color, which can be both intimidating and beautiful at once. Try a roaring panther that will symbolize protection and ferocity, making it an extraordinary decision for anyone looking to express their inner strength.

3. Black Panther Abstract Tattoo: Have you seen the ‘Pray for Me’ video that features abstract Black Panther art? You too can try a sly and artful composition featuring geometric shapes, curves, and lines, all inspired by the black panther. Abstract tattoos often are very detailed which can enhance any existing artwork or add something new to your style.

4. Tribal Black Panther Tattoo: Many people choose tribal tattoos for their strong connection with native cultures and history. The original Black Panther film was all about tribe and community. Therefore, a tribal tattoo featuring our favorite Black panther can be visually interesting. It is also a great way to pay homage to the ‘fictional’ Wakandan tribal people.

5. Japanese style Black Panther: Traditional Japanese artwork has been known to be incredibly detailed and beautiful, which makes it an excellent option for those needing to get a unique tattoo of the black panther. Search for a design that combines both the traditional elements of Japanese cultures, like koi fish and cherry blossoms, along with the marvel superhero. If you’re looking for something more subtle, consider getting a small, realistic symbol of a black panther inked onto your body.

6. Roaring Black Panther Tattoo: An alternative version of the roaring black panther design that you can try will feature yellow eyes instead of white ones. Not only does this create an interesting contrast in colors, but it also adds an extra layer of fierceness to the overall tattoo piece. For those who want their tattoos to have an imaginative and artistic edge, why not try a minimalist design that features only the roaring face of the black panther?

7. Black Panther with watercolor ink: Create something truly unique by combining traditional black ink with vibrant watercolors. A watercolor black panther tattoo will help bring out the beauty of the animal while also helping to show off your creative side. You can also go for something bolder with an entire scene featuring multiple black panthers in various positions and postures (something inspired by the ancestral plane).

8. Cartoon Panther Tattoo: On the ancestral plane, T’challa also saw many CGI-animated black panthers. You can base your tattoo design on one of those. This type of artwork can typically feature the big cat in bright colors and with exaggerated details that bring out its unique character.  After all a cartoon-style design of a black panther, with its big eyes and mischievous grin, can add a playful touch to any tattoo.

9. Killmonger vs Black Panther: In comic books as well as movies, Black Panther had a special bond with Killmonger. Therefore a tattoo that features both characters fighting each other would be a cool matching tattoo idea for siblings or friends.

10. Black Panther with Fantastic Four:  Black panther first appeared in Fantastic Four #52. It will be a meaningful idea to have the character team up with the first family of the Marvel universe. Both T’challa and the Fantastic four have hi-tech gadgets therefore you can include them too if you are a tech-savvy person.

11. Panther With Falcon Wings Tattoo: Falcon and Black Panther are two African American superheroes that were introduced during the 1960s. Their addition to the marvel universe was important as both represented the voice of the minority. A Falcon and Black Panther or even a Black Panther with Falcon wings can be a really good tattoo idea.

12. Tattered Panther Tattoo: T’challa is the richest superhero in the comic book world. Seeing him wearing a torn suit would be shocking but very meaningful. The torn edges or distressed lines of the suit will imply that even though T’challa has all the wealth in the world but instead of succumbing to pleasure he loves to fight for justice.

13. Avengers and Black Panther: T’challa is the most important member of the Avengers. We have seen in movies how he provided tech to the Avengers team in the fight against Thanos. An Avengers tattoo featuring Black Panther in middle will be a sight to remember.

14. Black Panther and Captain America: T’challa helped Captain America during the civil war. Not only this but he also took him to Wakanda during his hideout. T’challa also provided his vibranium metal for Captain’s shield. A tattoo featuring the duo of Cap and Black panther will be ideal for interracial friends.

15. T’challa as Starlord: This was my favorite episode from the What If series. Hearing Chadwick Boseman’s final voice-over performance was emotional. The writers gave perfect tribute to the character of T’challa by showing that it was not the vibranium suit or the mystic power that makes Black panther a superhero but instead the qualities that are in T’challa that make him far superior to his counterparts.
