Horror tats

[Mike Clayton]

Okay I am a huge horror movie fan and a fan of anything scary. I was recently thinking getting a tattoo of maybe a haunted house on my outer calf and making it go to the back I have a st michael on the inner calf. But ppl are saying it will look weird. I was then thinking about getting it on the other leg the full leg. But I would like to see what you guys think and maybe post some good reference pics.

@Mike Clayton Rad! I immediately thought of old Creature from the Black Lagoon/Wolfman/Boris Karloff Frankenstein-type imagery.

@Mike Clayton, you need to head up and see George Archer in Petersburg, VA.

Well only reason I don't wanna get it now is cause ppl say it will look weird on the same leg I got my st michael tat on my inner calf on my right leg. I wanted to get it on the outter and move to the back to finish off my whole leg.

People are wrong.

On one leg I've got a shark, a coffee cup, a raven and skull, a mini coffin, a skull and dagger, a smashing pumpkins logo, the letter P, a torch, an apple... and a few more. Don't worry about other people, who sound like they have no tattoos anyway.

Are people assuming it would look weird because you would be combining a horror tattoo with a saint? because if so, you could always search for Hell fire imagery, or demons, judgment day, the crusades, Salem witch burnings or Satan himself and keep it Christian.

Admins, could we add a button that will automatically post that OV Dan Higgs video talking about how tattoos go together for whenever there's a thread like this?

Take the idea to the artist and have them work with it. If it's a good artist it won't look weird. Promise. Or just do the other leg haha.

Nah she doesn't really care they just think it would be weird with a saint and then something completely different

Thats what i started to think when they said it would look weird but thanks I will.

I think that idea sounds awesome!! I'm a huge horror buff too and I love the idea of two ideas blending. I'm getting a skull or pile of them and merging them with lace. Something feminine to melt in with the gruesome of the skulls...

thanks to @CultExciter's sig for bringing me here.

Been seriously considering a cartoon frankenstein. Not boris karloff, though he is dear to my heart.

frankenstein is my shit, in my top 5 of favorite books ever.

and a cthulu tattoo would be bitchin' too

[thornton8000]

It would to me be awesome imagery with the good and evil concept and allow u to talk about your tattoos and I think they would be awesome together

[Nathanb19]

I would love to get a Pinhead piece from Hellraiser. Classic memories growing up getting the piss scared out of me.

[zephyr]

As long as it's done by a good artist, I'm sure it'll turn out well. So choose carefully!

Someone posted a cool lovecraft / Poe combined portrait thing somewhere which I loved . I am definitely getting something lovecraftian , and plague doctor has always been on my list

Getting tattoo is one of the life long which will be with us so try some good tattoo that would be good for you or try some temporary tattoo .
