Thread: Halloween Themed Tattoo

Tweet

Just sitting here browsing the forum and my thoughts went to tattoos (no idea why...lol).

I have a friend who has always tried to talk me into getting a tattoo, she has many and just loves them. I've never been able to commit to any one idea of something that I love enough to want to be a part of my body for the rest of my life. It just occurred to me that if there would be any one thing, the closest would have to be Halloween.

So brings my question to you all, any ideas on a cool Halloween themed tattoo? I looked up Halloween tattoos online and surprisingly didn't find that much. Ideas don't need to be a picture, even a cool creepy Halloween phrases or a symbol...

i would love a pumpkin rot style JOL!

i have frankensteins creature on one forearm , the bride on my other forearm .
(pics on my page , in the hellverstott cemetery folder ) i also have "scars" on my
wrists and ankles that make it look my feet and hands were sewn on . getting
ready to sleeve the rest of my left arm having the bride sitting in a pumpkin patch that will slowly turn into a graveyard up to my shoulder - can't wait
gonna watch this thread to see what ya choose... love halloween tats
ya know ya won't be able to stop at just one don'tcha ?

I second what ScaryGarry said - tats are addicting, just like piercings. If you can't decide on a picture, you could always just have "October 31" in a gothic-style font. Maybe with a black rose under it or something.

Ahhhhhh - the possibilities are endless.

Boo Baby, here are some threads on tattoos. I have a pumpkin and a black rose.

My first advice NEVER let anyone talk you into getting one. Only be for sure about it yourself. You'll have it forever. Second piece of advice, if you can draw it do it. I put both of mine together which then I knew I loved it.

Horror Tattoos? You Gots?

Agreed, tats and piercings are very addictive. The girl at the local Lowe's has all the classic movie horror creatures on her arms. Werewolf, vamp, creature from the black lagoon, mummy, etc. etc. Pretty cool but, no rythum to it.

I always tell people to design something yourself and then bring it to a tattooist who has become extremely well known for his quality, not quantity. You are going to be living with this thing for the rest of your life. You don't want something that is a base tat and everyone else who walks in to the parlor can get.

Thanks for the advice. I totally agree with not being goaded into a tattoo, if I were to decide to get one it is going to have to be something I'm 100% sure of. And I also agree with not having something that everyone else has either.

Maybe I should have a 666 tattood on my scalp, under my hair so if anyone ever has to shave my head they'll freak out and think I'm the spawn of Satan...lol

With all kidding aside I appreciate the advice and suggestions.

I apologize for the double post but I haven't the foggiest reason why I couldn't find 'tattoo' when I did a forum search.

I looked before I posted this thread to see if there was any threads I could view without creating this one. There were some but they didn't come up when I did my search?! I must be doing something wrong...

try brodening your seach specific to halloween things you like , you may have to add the word artwork into your seach as it may give better options for a tattoo , like frankenstien artwork or gothic artwork , even halloween artwork many things will pop up in that search

I did a search on tattoos, but have posted in those before so found them easily, only reason I found them for you.

BTW I kinda like the 666 idea, I may have to use that one.
