Pokemon Tattoos

Pokémon is a Japanese video game, card game, and television show, that was started in 1996 and is now one of the most popular forms of children’s entertainment in the world. Pokémon features fantastic creatures that need to be caught, trained, and battled against other people. In the video games, people can now even battle and trade with their friends, making it more of a community than it previously was.

Fans of Pokémon are very dedicated, and some show that dedication by  having their favorite Pokémon tattooed on themselves.
