Honor and dedication represent the Mandalorian people. With the innovative design of any symbol, Star Wars fans can be proud of these iconic characters.
Intended to be a part of the famous bounty hunter, Boba Fett, a large universe was created about the Mandalorians due to the growing popularity of the character.
The people of Mandaloria have a rich culture and dominant symbols that represent their entire vitality as warriors. Every Mandalorian is a warrior at heart. What better way to unleash your inner champion than to get a tattoo of one of their symbols?
Matching the infamous True Mandalorians and proud of their intricate heraldic design to highlight the duty and perseverance with which they fought until their last breath. Or join the authoritative thorny circle of The Crusaders, who famously fought the Jedi.
You can also choose the most recognizable Mandalorian symbol called “Kyr’bes”. This warrior design makes for an attractive tattoo. Many men tout this brazen badge of honor whether it is on their arms, chests, backs or hands.
Are you looking to improve your ink? Think about your color choices as color plays an important role in Mandalorian culture. Black and gray are the perfect choice to depict justice and grief over a lost love. Or look for shades of yellow if you want revenge.
1. Black and gray Mandalorian tattoo
The black and gray Mandalorian tattoo matches well with the Mythosaur’s skull symbol, the Kyr’bes, the crest used by the Mandalorian order in the Star Wars universe. It makes for a simple tattoo that can be customized to fit almost any body location of any size. It is a very useful factor when choosing the tattoo design you desire.
The Kyr’bes naturally have a tribal look, which seems like it was designed with tattooing in mind. This first image uses a deep, dark black background to add dimension and depth to what could otherwise be a flat, static image. The variation in shading and saturation gives it brightness and dimension, allowing the work to come out of the flesh. In contrast to the second design example, it is flat but uses cleverly carved lines to create a natural smoothness.
2. Classic Mandalorian tattoo
Even though Mando is very famous these days due to the popularity of the 2019 streaming TV series, we can’t forget where he came from. Boba Fett is the classic, original, and cult legend of the Mandalorian from the Star Wars films. These tattoos take us back in time to the first time we experienced a glimpse into the world of iconic characters.
Ironically, the Mandalorian armor that Fett wears has a similar color palette to Traditional American tattoos, as can be seen in this first example. It uses dark olive and army green, muted red and yellow to represent traditional colors. If you don’t want to be featured in a television series, then a classic Mandalorian tattoo might be the best style choice for you. Whether it’s a massive back or a smaller, more elegant piece, these classic images are perfect for styles that rely on a lot of detail like realistic or illustrative tattoos.
3. Realist Mandalorian tattoos
The more realistically you can portray a completely fictional character, the more impressive the work will be overall. These realistic Mandalorian tattoos bring the character to life, with highly detailed application that relies heavily on precise shading, exceptionally sharp lines, and clever use of sources light and negative space.
The first example above is unique and dynamic, using the natural shapes of the shoulders and arms to build a quality 3D image. The work uses light and shadow sources to create an extremely realistic depiction of the armor. It’s also a great example of breakthrough thinking. The Mandalorian tattoo is not necessarily the Kyr’bes symbol or the character itself, but rather a combination of useful images backed by a commitment to technique.
4. Simple Mandalorian tattoo
Thanks to the uncomplicated design of the Kyr’bes symbol, choosing a simple Mandalorian tattoo isn’t as difficult a task as it is with other Star Wars themes. When it comes to a simple design, lines, color saturation and shading need to be clearly noticed, otherwise what is missing in the design will be easily noticed.
Simple tattoos represent simple mistakes so the tattoo execution needs to be perfect. This first design is pure black, has no shadows but is perforated very hard and deep. It is very solid, with sharp, precise line features that complement the simplicity of the subject.
5. Full color Mandalorian tattoo
The Mandalorian himself is a drab figure wearing gray, silver, and brown armor. This naturally understated style of dressing doesn’t have to limit your options when it comes to the color scheme of your tattoo. Using color for these tattoos adds richness, legibility and sophistication – there are no rules as to how you should create art on your body.
The first Kyr’bes had a simply executed color palette of red, white, desert brown, and gold, giving it the appearance of being carved into rock. Bold black shadows create depth and dimension to give it an extremely effective, realistic look that you can read from across the room. The second of these examples makes use of lots of negative space contrasted with bold colors to make the image stand out brilliantly against the skin.
6. Tattoo off the wall The Mandalorian
Doesn’t every tattoo in the Mandalorian need to be serious to make a point, and why should it be a part of personal expression? There is no limit to what a good artist can do to create a quality ink pad if armed with a smart tattoo design.
Take this first example, which follows Neo Traditional principles by implementing bold, bold contouring and dark, saturated colors to make it look like a sticker on the skin. The design has a cartoonish quality, while the background skull is more illustrative. It exhibits a pencil-thin black outline and clear, vibrant red ink saturation. You can choose to go full Neo here or even something more technically daring like Trash Polka or watercolor to really innovate with color palettes and unexpected style transitions.
