For some, the magic of Halloween extends well beyond October. Sure, the Halloween costumes, candy and decorations only come out once a year, but the spooks and scares can still be felt year-round — especially if you have one of these Halloween tattoos permanently inked on your arm, leg or somewhere else on your body.
Think of your skin as a blank canvas for all of Halloween’s creepiest stories — the ones rooted in terrifying realities (unsolved murders, serial killers and more) and the ones told in blockbusters by masterminds like Michael Myers. Show your love for your favorite horror films with a tattoo of Ghostface from the Scream franchise or go back to your trick-or-treating days with a tattoo inspired by popular Disney Halloween movies. Or if you prefer to take the traditional route, stick with a classic design full of ghosts, jack-o’-lanterns, black cats, bats, spiders and other holiday staples. The hardest part is deciding how big you want to go: Start with something small and dainty or go all-out with a full sleeve. No matter what you pick, all of these ideas will show everyone just how serious you are about the spooky season.
