Totally Awesome '90s-Themed Tattoos

by Rachel Semigran

Fun fact: I am the pop culture ringer when I play Quizzo with my friends, and that is all due to my totally '90s upbringing. I grew up in the hey day of The Simpsons , battled through long car rides on my Gameboy, and spent most days after school wishing I was a student at Bronson Alcott High School. If you're anything like me, then you probably miss planning out your mode of attack on Guts and going to Toys "R" Us to pick up the latest Silly Putty color. You also probably has a lot of sleepless nights from one too many episodes of Are You Afraid of the Dark? or reading Goosebumps right before bed time. Man — the '90s were such a rad time. So rad, in fact, that they deserve to be commemorated in '90s-themed tattoo form.

To honor your childhood that was made up of the Spice Girls, Air Jordans, Pogs, Sega Genesis, Skip-It, and was powered by Dunkaroos, you should consider getting a totally '90s tattoo. Cover yourself in Lisa Frank designs! Get Tiger Beat-worthy ink! Never let grunge go!

For a little inspiration, take a look at these killer '90s tattoos. They'll make you feel as powerful as a Power Ranger and as gnarly as Tony Hawk. Cowabunga! All that and a bag of chips! OH DIP! And so on...
