For anyone who was a little girl in the '80s or '90s, I probably would not believe them if they told me that they never heard of Lisa Frank. The company, Lisa Frank Incorporated, was founded by Lisa Frank (yes, she is a real person) in 1979 when she was 24 years old. The artist and entrepreneur was raised in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan, and then attended University of Arizona. Soon after that, she started her company, which is still headquartered in Arizona, as a line of original stickers. The company eventually expanded into tons of school supplies, including folders, pencil cases, binders, backpacks, and notebooks.

In the late '80s and early '90s kids everywhere just HAD to have it --- hence the brand's catchphrase: "You Gotta Have It." Some may even recall seeing a young Mila Kunis in a resurfaced 1993 Lisa Frank commercial. Although Lisa herself has remained private and secretive over the years when it comes to her personal life, her work has made kids and adults smile for decades. With all of the bright colors and elaborate details, it only makes sense that some people would get tattoo inspiration from this iconic brand. 

When it comes to a Lisa Frank illustration there are pretty much no rules. Bring on all of the neon pigments, adorable baby animals, and add in a bunch of hearts and stars. These 20 Lisa Frank tattoos give us all of the feels -- and make us strongly consider getting some new ink. From rainbow leopards to ballerina bunny rabbits, people thought of everything!
