10 Tattoos Inspired By SpongeBob SquarePants

Over the years, there have been so many amazing, beautiful and creative television shows, including cartoon series. And one of the most iconic cartoon characters of all time would be SpongeBob SquarePants: He is the star of his own story, he lives in a pineapple under the sea, he makes the best burgers, and he is just so cute.

That being said, many fans have opted to honor and celebrate SpongeBob SquarePants with permanent ink. Yes, down below, there are 10 different tattoo designs, all wonderful in their own ways, which were all inspired by this TV show and this character. 

10 Oops

Since this television show has been on since 1999, it has shown off so many scenes that became classics. For example, there was the time SpongeBob ripped his pants; there have been songs, jokes, references and memes that mention this, and that episode now lives on as a tattoo, too, as seen via Tattoos For You.

With or without any other embellishments or words, this “oops” moment makes for a great piece of art, especially for someone who considers this to be the best ep ever.

9 F Is For Friends

Another memorable episode featured SpongeBob singing a song about F-U-N, and that can be put on display with a tat like this one from Deviant Art and from GREENeyedGOBLIN.

The lyrics, Plankton’s input, SpongeBob’s changing reactions, the big and bold font… All of this and more could lead to several different tats, all inspired by this one tune.

8 Geeky

A tattoo artist named Megan Rose posted a photo of a piece of SpongeBob SquarePants artwork she did, which shows him wearing his adorkable glasses! Most cartoon characters wear the same thing every single day since that is easier for animators.

On special occasions, though, characters like this one will put on different ensembles or new accessories, meaning the world has seen this little guy in these glasses a few times (thank goodness). And while any photo of him is perfection, this one may just be one of the cutest ever. 

7 Imagination

Everyone remembers when this animated character talked about imagination, and someone turned that scene into a clear and concise message: “Nobody cares”. 

That ‘someone’ was artist michelabottin.ackerman, and it was done at Legacy Ink on joshhurrelltattoo, according to Instagram. Any word or phrase could be put in between SpongeBob’s hands, or the original word, “imagination”, could be displayed in a tattoo, as well.

6 Jelly Fishing

Since SpongeBob lives underwater, one of his favorite pastimes is fishing for jellyfish. Therefore, artwork could be created that shows him doing this or heading out to do this, as was done by alexstrangler; there is a sparkle in his eye, a net in his hand, and one of these creatures floating along above him… It is all just so great.

Oh, and the darling little heart-shaped border around this graphic is not necessary but makes it even better, to be honest!

5 House Silhouettes

Reddit user curintedery has reportedly loved SpongeBob forever, so when it was time to get their first tattoo, they opted for one inspired by this TV show. 

Some people may look at these shapes and be confused, but true fans would recognize these line drawings as the main houses seen on SpongeBob SquarePants: There is the rock that Patrick lives under, the Easter Island-esque head, which is Squidward’s home, and the pineapple that belongs to the star of the story.

4 Krabby Patty

For a living, SpongeBob makes, flips and serves burgers at the Krusty Krab, and the specialty there is a hamburger called the Krabby Patty. 

This permanent ink, which belongs to Redditor iwasinthepit, doesn’t even show a main character, yet it clearly celebrates this series!

3 I’m Ready

An artist on Instagram, nathan_campelo_borges, uploaded this fruit and this phrase, and many viewers surely think of SpongeBob when they see a pineapple or hear these words: “I’m ready!”

The two elements have been combined, in order to create this unique and fabulous tattoo.

2 BFFs

Friends who enjoy watching SpongeBob SquarePants may want to get matching or coordinating tats, such as these that depict Patrick and SpongeBob talking on conch phones to one another or simply listening to the magical shell together.

While any image of these two pals would be cool to get, the conch adds even more to it all, like a cherry on top that really shows the special friendship between the two characters.

1 Gang’s All Here

When the official SpongeBob SquarePants Twitter account asked to see everyone’s themed ink, DaleMelita shared this collage. This style is a wonderful idea, when it comes to tattoos centered around TV shows, as it can put several characters and things on display.

SpongeBob SquarePants, Squidward Tentacles, Patrick Star, Mr. Krabs, Sandy Cheeks, Sheldon J. Plankton… The famous and beloved gang from the hit show is all here and will be shown off forever with this great tattoo!
