Princess and the Frog tattoo ideas range from a tiny Evangeline star on the wrist to a full-color Tiana down the leg. Disney’s The Princess and the Frog is rich tattoo material: Tiana and her green gown, Ray the firefly, the villain Dr. Facilier, and the evening star Evangeline, which has become the most popular design of all. Below are my favorite Princess and the Frog tattoos, credited to their artists, plus what they mean, matching couple ideas, small options, and an FAQ.
A quick note: the tattoos below are the work of their artists, and I have no affiliation with them. I credit each one where I can. If your tattoo is featured and you would like it removed, email me at the address at the bottom of the page.
🐶 TATTOO TIP
If you want something small and meaningful rather than a big portrait, the Evangeline star is the move. It is simple, it is recognizable to any fan, and it works as a matching tattoo with a partner who gets Ray. Start small, you can always add to it later.
Princess and the Frog Tattoo Ideas
Princess Tiana Tattoo
Tattoo by missmaelaroux
A bold Tiana portrait is a striking thigh or leg piece. Put her in her deep emerald green gown with gold accents, against a New Orleans night scene with wrought-iron balconies and a full moon. Give her a confident, determined look to match her character.

Ray Tattoo (The Firefly)
Tattoo by lyndsey.fatestattoo
Ray, the warm-hearted Cajun firefly, is a beloved pick and a common memorial tattoo. Show him mid-flight reaching toward Evangeline, with the glowing light at the tip of his tail standing out against a starry sky.
Evangeline Star Tattoo
The evening star Ray falls in love with is the most popular Princess and the Frog tattoo, and the easiest to keep small. A single bright star, often with a soft glow or trailing sparkle, stands for love, hope, and wishing on a star. Because Ray becomes a star beside Evangeline at the end of the film, two stars together also make a tender memorial or remembrance piece.
Ray and Evangeline Matching Tattoo
This is the go-to couples tattoo for fans: one partner gets Ray, the other gets the Evangeline star, in the spirit of “he’s my Ray, I’m his Evangeline.” Keep both small and simple so they read as a pair, and place them where they sit near each other when you are together.
Tiana and Naveen Tattoo
Tattoo by meat_at_animalhousetat2
A watercolor Tiana and Prince Naveen as frogs on a lily pad, gazing at each other, makes a dreamy, romantic design. Delicate black linework on the frogs over a soft bayou wash keeps it from getting muddy.
Dr. Facilier Tattoo
For the villain fans, Dr. Facilier is a dramatic piece: deep purples, his skull-topped hat, his cane, and his shadowy “friends on the other side” with glowing eyes. A New Orleans voodoo backdrop with purple smoke completes the yellow-eyed menace.
“Almost There” Tattoo
Tiana’s motto from her song makes a great quote tattoo on its own or paired with a small star or lily. It captures the whole theme of the film: hard work, perseverance, and chasing your dream. Pick a clean script and it sits well on the forearm, collarbone, or ribs.
