The popularity of these tattoos has risen in recent years attracting attention from the iconic Disney movie Aladdin. While the film itself can be a sole reason for wanting a genie tattoo, another common reason behind getting this design rests in the symbolism.
Genie designs, which have long-standing origins from the Middle East, can be a sign of strength.
However, there are some hidden meanings behind this tattoo design, alluding to the old-fashioned perception of women. The main difference between genie tattoos of women and men is that most women who wear these tattoos depict the genie with an hourglass figure.
Women use the hourglass figure to represent fertility, magical powers, and sexuality. In the past, this has been a symbol of being a woman in the public eye and having babies. All of these represent characteristics that women see as being influential.
Genie tattoos for women are primarily popular on their upper backs, shoulders, ankles, and ankles. The most common tattoo design depicts a woman in her royal dress with a genie leaning to grant wishes. It is similar to the classic Disney scene from Aladdin.
Another recurring design in these tattoos is having a djinn trapped; however, it could also be seen as the woman’s genie being trapped.

My favorite Genie moments from Aladdin:
Consider using these memorable times to inspire your design:
1. When Aladdin first rubs the lamp and releases Genie from his prison, he is overwhelmed with joy at being free after so many years. He immediately starts to perform an elaborate song-and-dance number that introduces him to Aladdin and his friends. The scene is filled with vibrant colors, catchy music, and plenty of laughs as Genie makes his grand entrance into their lives.
2. After Aladdin makes his three wishes, Genie is still determined to help him win over Princess Jasmine’s heart. He uses his magic to transform Aladdin into Prince Ali Ababwa, complete with a lavish costume and entourage of servants. This moment showcases Genie’s creativity and resourcefulness as he helps Aladdin get closer to achieving his goal.
3. During the battle between Jafar and Aladdin, Genie comes to the rescue by using his powers to defeat Jafar’s evil plans. He creates a giant tornado that carries Jafar away, saving Aladdin and restoring peace to Agrabah. This heroic act proves once again how powerful Genie truly is, and how much he cares about protecting those he loves.
4. When Genie decides it’s time for him to move on from Agrabah and explore the world outside of the lamp. As he bids farewell to Aladdin and his friends, they share one last heartfelt hug before Genie takes off in a burst of smoke and light – leaving behind only fond memories of their time together. This touching moment serves as a reminder that even though Genie may be gone physically, he will always remain in their hearts forevermore.
This design is so creative. I love the way that the artist managed to incorporate Mulan, Lion King, and Aladdin’s genie. The watercolor style elevates the design into a more sophisticated women’s tattoo, while incorporating cartoon characters.
Negative space is used expertly here. The clear precise outline of the genie is created hovering above the golden lamp by creating negative space in a bright blue haze. It’s a creative and unique way to depict the genie.
Marijuana meets Disney’s innocence in this unique female tattoo. This would be great for a smoker with a sense of humor. The genie is all decked out in pot leaf clothing and tattoos. The rose-colored glasses certainly give a new lens to see this beloved childhood character through.
A sketch like design brings this iconic design, new life. The sketchy outline works well for this magical subject matter. I like the splashy blue hues that seem to just creep out from the spout, alluding to the genie without an actual image of the character.
The cartoon nature of the character is the focus here. A combination of fun shapes and designs is coming out of the lamp with him, a smiling star, diamonds, and hearts, contribute to the child-like theme that is created. I like the small details that allude to the movie, like the carpet and the tiny castle of Agrabah.
Large and in charge! This big piece shows off the genie himself, so well. The purple galaxy design as a backdrop is perfect for the character and I love the subtle little mickey mouse ear silhouette created with the negative space at the bottom.
The genie’s smiling expression is perfectly captured in this women’s tattoo. The lamp’s linework is so precise and looks absolutely spot on. The blue and purple flowers that match the genie’s hues are a perfect way to finish off the tattoo.
Creepy and creative, this girl’s genie tattoo is so unique. I love the way that the universe seems to just billow out from the lamp. While the image of red clawed hands, seems to be ripping the arm open and revealing the cosmic power that is held within.
Eyes glisten in this tattoo for women, with the friendliness that only Aladdin’s genie could. I can almost hear Robbin William’s voice acting coming through. I love the life like glow that the small details on the genie’s face bring to this design.
The splashy purple watercolor elements used in this female tattoo really create an illusion of puffs of smoke coming from this golden lamp. I love the way that the genie’s golden cuffs seem to shine, and the angle of the lamp is perfect for the placement on the body.
An image of Disney’s genie is so recognizable, that even a simple black outline gets the point across, as is done with this girl’s tattoo. The simple design is accented with tiny little shimmery stars, and it adds just the right amount of sparkle to this design.
Genie is joined here by Jasmine, Aladdin, and his pet monkey, Abu. I like the way that the characters look like they are in the sketchbook of the illustrating team at Disney. The light sketched lines over the image, make a unique and creative design element here.
A simple outline of the genie is filled in with a galaxy pattern made up of a variety of blue-green hues. While the genie’s likeness is created simply, the lamp is detailed and the linework is incredibly precise. Little shimmering stars and dots that are sparingly used, add just a bit more interest to the piece.
This bold design is very colorful and has a lot of things to look at. Crisp lines are laid dark and clear, and the there is a lot of detail. The blue shade stands out well against the red and orange hues that are used throughout the tattoo.
Pastel hues are blended so well to create the genie’s likeness in this design. I love the fluffy looking clouds that surround his tail, and the way the red stands out against the blues and purple that are used for his body.
Quoting the genie, “You ain’t ever had a friend like me” is such a memorable line from the movie and is perfect to represent his character in a tattoo. It was so creative to feature it with him in a tattoo. The text could be moved off his body if you had more space to work with.
As genie says, “itty bitty living space” is used here to create his image, and it is so clear and recognizable while remaining small and understated. This is perfect for an Aladdin fan that wants something simple and petite.
An intricately detailed black and gray lamp seems to slowly leak puffs of magic smoke in rich hues of pink, blue, and purple. The juxtaposition of the black and gray lamp to the rich watercolor appearance of the colored smoke makes this design so interesting and well thought out.
For the more, die-hard genie fan, this is a depiction of the genie as a bee, which is a very specific scene in the movie. The expression is perfect for the character, and the background is fun and creative, and makes the tattoo more original.
Another specific scene from the movie, this has genie wearing a Goofy hat as he goes on vacation with the magic carpet. This is a cute scene to recreate, because the movie already combines two Disney worlds, and to use it as a tattoo, also shows a love for Disney as a whole.
Ethereal watercolor styled smoke billows from this neatly sketched lamp. The smoke of pink, blue, and purple hues has as shimmering quality, created with excellent use of negative space. This tattoo is so pretty and isn’t as loud or obvious as other designs.
All of Aladdin’s friends are pictured here, with the Genie, Jasmine, Aladdin, Abu, and even Rajah the tiger. The friends are so well recreated and easily recognizable. A smoky rainbow frame, complete with the lamp is a great way to tie them all together and add something creative to make the design its own.
Little and simple, this cute and petite lamp is perfect for someone who wants a small tribute to the movie, or character. It may even hold more meaning, with a cultural significance or a deeper tie to the story. The creative rainbow ombre on the lamp is creative and adds a little something extra.
Iconic, the gold lamp needs nothing more, to give a nod to the film. This design has clean bold linework and the perfect coloration. The subtle red backdrop helps the gold color stand out on the skin and this would look great anywhere on the body.
Two Disney worlds intertwine in this unique women’s tattoo. The wishing well from Snow White acts as genie’s lamp, in which he emerges from. It is such a unique idea and will stand out from others. I love the small details featured here, such as the happy singing birds, and the little blades of grass.
The duo of Aladdin and Genie are shown here accompanied by Abu. The fun recreation of the classic animated film is a great tribute for any Disney or Aladdin fan. The gold frame and pink fluffy smoke in the background are a great backdrop that makes the design unique.
I adore this tattoo. It’s small but makes a big impact. Genie as a bee is such a funny part of the movie, and I love the attitude that is exemplified here. The text, “bee yourself” is both funny and a good message to live by.
Joy is what I feel when I see this female tattoo. It just drips it. The genie is such a loud, boisterous, and joyful person and this tattoo is just a perfect recreation of his character and is the perfect tribute to him.
The golden color of an elongated lamp pops against the smoky, pink, and purple backdrop colors that were used here. The vivid colors on the lamp are very well saturated, and the linework is impressively clean and professional.
The genie seems to jump off the body with the color scheme used. The pink and yellow background makes all the vivid colors and exceptional details pop here. The expression on Abu’s face is priceless as he looks at his large precious gem!
What a creative design! To use Genie’s silhouette as a frame is such a creative way to feature him on this tattoo. I love that even though they are merely shadows, Jasmine and Aladdin come across so well. The rainbow colors used in Genie’s silhouette make those of Jasmin and Aladdin pop so well!
I love the splashy, airy feel of this genie. He looks so happy and carefree, and the pastel watercolor style is perfect for a magical genie. The sketchbook quality of the lamp is really nice paired with the watercolor style, and the tattoo is beautiful.
A neon sign, saying “applause” is another memorable still from the movie, and the genie’s expression during that scene is perfectly captured. He looks impressed with himself and ready for the reaction of awe, from his adoring crowd.
Pink is used as a highlight in this tattoo, and it works so well against the blue. It pops and creates an ethereal effect, especially on his hands, which are so detailed and look perfect, holding the golden lamp that would normally hold him.
Black and gray are a stark contract to most of the brightly colored tattoos that you see when creating the genie image. The tiny linework on the base and top of the lamp adds so much interest and the leaves that are blowing out, remind me of the movie, Pocahontas too.
What a splashy and fun version of genie! The pastel hues that emerge from the rich golden colored lamp are mystical and magically used to create a perfect replication of a childhood favorite here. The gold cuffs also pop against the blue of his body.
Movement is the focus of this tattoo as the genie is in the process of emerging from the lamp, the smoke that is forming his body is still accumulating in clouds and the action shown in the image is so interesting to look at.
Blue and gold make a positively beautiful pairing. The watercolor silhouette of a sky-blue genie is created so beautifully here without any outline at all. The fact that no black outlines exist allows the genie to appear more smoke like, and more magical in this design.
Buzzing about, this fun tattoo makes a splash with its bright rainbow palette. The bee’s wings look iridescent due to the artist’s use of thin line work and sparing use of the pastel pink and blues. Bright colors allude to the personality of the character himself.
Bubblegum pink cheeks have this genie looking particularly adorable. Perfect for someone who loves “cute” tattoos, this genie is illustrated in a way that has him extra sweet looking. Blues and pinks pop well off each other and the vivid stars that surround him, keep with the theme.
