These Devoted Fans Paid Homage To Disney With Incredible Tattoos

This Watercolor Little Mermaid Is Charming

This tattoo features an abstract mermaid, who appears to have been painted in watercolors. The 1989 animated film The Little Mermaid was based on the fairy tale by Hans Christian Andersen. There are very few strokes to the design, but the subject is very obvious. The film marked a bit of a comeback for Disney, whose big-screen films had been struggling since the 1970s. It was the first animated feature to earn more than $100 million at the box office. It centers on a pretty mermaid princess named Ariel who dreams of becoming human. Successful follow-ups included Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin, and The Lion King.
