For true fans, the Gundam universe isn’t just about another anime series you like, it’s a point of identification. What better way to demonstrate this aspect of yourself than with a Gundam tattoo?

Gundam dates back to the ’70s. In terms of armed robots, this series is completely original. Without Gundam, there would be no Roijin Z, no Ghost in the Shell. The innovation of Gundam is hard to match in the anime world.
Beyond the nostalgic and retro values of a Gundam tattoo, it’s just going to look great. Yoshiyuki Tomino, the show’s creator and revolutionary animator shocked the world with his harsh, thin lines and sharp angles that gave both robotics and anime an exhilarating look.
Gundam started as fiction, but as technology advanced, it broke into reality. In 2007, a Professor at MIT, Dava Newman, developed his new creation, the Bio-Suit. The suit operates and looks like it came right out of the Gundam universe, and several fans and members of the media were quick to point out the similarities.
This is true, hard science fiction. Nothing happens in the Gundam universe that lies outside the realm of possibilities in our own. A Gundam tattoo looks both forward and backward. It marks a love of the past and a commitment to the future.
