Mike Clayton Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 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.

gougetheeyes Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 Calling @Erica @Mike Clayton Rad! I immediately thought of old Creature from the Black Lagoon/Wolfman/Boris Karloff Frankenstein-type imagery.

Mike Clayton Posted May 29, 2013 Author Share Posted May 29, 2013 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.

gougetheeyes Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 ppl say it will look weird on the same leg I got my st michael tat on my inner calf on my right 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. slayer9019, ILikePie, else and 7 others 10 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/3805-horror-tats/#findComment-66501 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erica Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 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. gougetheeyes and thornton8000 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/3805-horror-tats/#findComment-66527 Share on other sites More sharing options...

KYboy Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 ppl say it will look weird 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. Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/3805-horror-tats/#findComment-66536 Share on other sites More sharing options...

lynellej1 Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 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...

Delicious Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 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 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/3805-horror-tats/#findComment-71222 Share on other sites More sharing options...
thornton8000 Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 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 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/3805-horror-tats/#findComment-71520 Share on other sites More sharing options...

zephyr Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 As long as it's done by a good artist, I'm sure it'll turn out well. So choose carefully! Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/3805-horror-tats/#findComment-77679 Share on other sites More sharing options...
