The world's only toy brand for tattoo lovers

A one of a kind world where the animals are inked, the rules are different, and rebellion is in the fur. This isn't your average zoo.

Here, the animals create their own look, wear their stories on their skin, and don't ask for permission

Our timeline

Born to Be Different

Tattoo Zoo was born from a simple idea: what happens when the bold artistry of tattoo culture meets the irresistible charm of kawaii animals? A world of illustrated, tattooed characters with big personalities, original artwork, and a rebellious spirit was born.

FEBRUARY 2023

The Zoo Goes on Tour

The Zoo hits the road! From New York Toy Fair and MegaCon to more than 50 tattoo conventions and toy shows, Tattoo Zoo took its colorful cast of characters directly to fans, collectors, and industry insiders. What started as an idea was becoming a movement, one event at a time.

The Zoo Comes Alive

Our characters stepped beyond the illustrations and into a world of storytelling. Through animations, cartoons, GIFs, and stickers, the Zoo began coming to life, giving our growing cast of characters new ways to express their personalities and connect with fans.

The Blind Box Craze Begins

Mystery meets personality with the launch of Batties, our first collectible blind box series. With adorable designs, hidden rarities, and a whole lot of attitude, Batties introduced a new way to experience the Zoo and gave collectors something new to obsess over.

Innovation Is in Our DNA

Tattoo Zoo officially earned a U.S. utility patent for its innovative tattooed plush technology, marking a major milestone in our creative journey. Combining original artistry with product innovation, we proved that even in a world full of stuffed animals, there’s still room to do things differently.

The Zoo Goes Global

From the shelves of Hot Topic to fans in the UK and Korea, Tattoo Zoo expanded its international footprint. With an exciting reception at Comic Con South Africa, our tattooed characters continued finding new homes, new fans, and new opportunities around the world.
