41 Halloween Tattoos For Spooky Season and Beyond

Fall is in full swing and we know what that means: Candy is on the shelves; talk of costumes and plans are dominating the group chat. If you're following the right people, the tattoo artists on your feed have started posting sketches of cool, creepy Halloween tattoos they’re eager to do. Sure, the occasion may only happen once a year, but for those of us who may as well live in Halloween Town ( The Nightmare Before Christmas , anyone?), it's only appropriate to cement that love for spooky season in the form of a tattoo .

Luckily, Halloween or horror movie-inspired tattoos don't have to align with a specific technical style, and can be tailored to fit your own specific tastes. “There is such a wide range when it comes to horror tattoos and I think people are having more fun with them these days," says Jes Valentine , tattoo artist and owner of Haven Studio in Brooklyn. “The underlying theme usually includes imagery like spiderwebs, ghosts, or bats, but style-wise, tattoos that fall into the creepy category can range from scary, super-realistic designs, to cute, kawaii horror tattoos that are fun to look at.” Read on for tips on how to pick the Halloween tattoo for you and spooky inspiration.

How to Pick a Halloween Tattoo

Halloween tattoo inspiration.

No matter what tattoo style suits your aesthetic best, there are a couple of questions you should ask yourself before getting a Halloween tattoo. "Can you see yourself wearing it 10 years from now? Is it offensive? Will it age well over time?" Valentine shares.

New York City-based tattoo artist Melanie Lee agrees, adding that if you're getting a Halloween tattoo based on a certain series or franchise, "be prepared for strangers to chat you up about it when you’re out and about." (Though, as anyone with visible tattoos knows, this is something you’ll probably need to be prepared for regardless of how recognizable your design is.)

From there you can start zeroing in on the vibe of your design, where you want to place it on your body, and finding an artist that aligns with the specific style you're hoping for. "Otherwise, it’s not much different from preparing for a regular tattoo," Lee says.

Grim reaper kitty tattoo on back

For Valentine, tattoos that fit the horror genre with a cute, colorful twist are among her favorite to do. "Although I can appreciate a full photo realistic sleeve of scenes from The Exorcist, I prefer to create something a little more playful and fun," she says, "like a grim reaper, except make it a bunny instead of a skeleton and make her robe pink."

Need some Halloween tattoo inspiration? Keep scrolling to see some of our favorite spooky body art, including, but not limited to, homages to our favorite horror movies, twists on classic imagery, and even spooky-yet-cute creatures.

Jennifer Check tattoo on thigh

Valentine often inks the main characters from the movies we want to watch and rewatch once spooky season comes around, like Jennifer’s Body and The Craft , on her clients. She typically gives the portraits her own technicolor style, complete with frames of flames, florals , and moon phases.

Tattoo of Elvira

Glossy , another Brooklyn-based tattoo artist, created this realistic black-and-grey portrait of Elvira that would do the Mistress of the Dark proud with a trio of stars accenting her image. Portland-based tattoo artist Monica Amneus did a colorful tribute to Carrie 's most iconic scene.

Halloween tattoo based on a nightmare that looks like a mummy woman

Lee drew the first mummy-like tattoo in this trio of Halloween tattoos from a recurring childhood nightmare one of her clients had. Might as well turn your sleepless nights into something beautiful, right? That little guy in the middle is from Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark , and a spell-binding siren straight from Lee's mind is beside him.

bride of Frankenstein tattoo

Adorned with '30s-inspired makeup true to the film's original era, this side profile of the Bride of Frankenstein from Valentine has brilliant green and purple draped blush and accurate stitch placement. The heart next to it is a tribute to Mary Shelley's Frankenstein . Valentine borrowed the green, purple, and blue color scheme typically associated with Frankenstein's monster into the piece, which is accented by bolts, stitches, well-placed florals, and a quote from the book.

colorful bat tattoo on calf

Always a popular image come Halloween, Valentine gave her bats the cutest tattoo treatments. Lee, on the other hand, sourced her bat lady tattoo from vintage imagery.

ghost cat tattoo

Ghosts are welcome visitors with the artful designs from Brooklyn tattoo artists Sophie Bee and Vannessa J . In fact, the above ghost kitty, which looks like it was drawn on with crayon, was a popular option during the latter's flash day for Halloween 2022. Want a more spine-chilling option that keeps your ink fun? Opt for one of Bee's looks, both of which capture the holiday's spirit. (Pun intended.)

TrickorTreat Ghost tattoo

Upgrade your pumpkin tattoo with tricks inspired by these ones from Valentine and Eva Crawford , a tattoo artist based in New York City: glitter-like accents, a reference to The Office , and — of course — candy.

Beetlejuice sandworm tattoo

It's showtime. Valentine gave the Sandworm from Beetlejuice a traditional tattoo treatment. But for her Nightmare on Elm Street tattoo, she gave Freddie's iconic glove a modern pink color scheme and unexpected heart-shaped details. Valentine also topped off the gory image with a single strawberry for an oh-so-cute spin.

pin up jason tattoo

British tattoo artist Vicky Morgan created a whole new look for Friday the 13th ’s main character by merging the traditional goaltender mask and machete combo with a retro pin-up aesthetic.

The Nightmare Before Christmas is also another amazing source of Halloween tattoo inspo. California tattoo artist Sanae García created a kawaii-style rendition of Jack Skellington's dog Zero with skull flowers that would look perfect on their own too.

scream themed hearts tattoo

Tattoos based on this film series deserve its own shout-out. (After all, there are six movies to pull inspiration from.) Frame your favorite moments from Scream in Y2K-style barbed wire hearts or go the glittery emoji route. "One of my favorite horror movie tattoos to do is Ghostface from Scream ," Valentine says. “I’ll never get tired of tattooing him.”

dancing skeleton tattoo

Perhaps some dancing skeletons will suit your skin. Allow Valentine and Brooklyn tattoo artist Olivia (a.k.a. @cowgurl_bebop on Instagram) to provide just the anatomically correct art this season deserves.

Morticia and Gomez The Addams Family tattoo

Tarot cards can be shuffled and read all year long, but Halloween makes them particularly poignant. Add your favorite major arcana to your tattoo collection or create your own with characters from your go-to Halloween movie, like this shout-out to the best lovers to ever do it — Morticia and Gomez Addams — from California tattoo artist Ellen Mellon or the Hocus Pocus -inspired card by Anaheim-based tattoo artist Brooke Borden .

doubleheaded teddy bear with several eyes tattoo

Double-headed stuffed animals, anyone? They're a specialty for not only Valentine but also Brooklyn tattoo artist Jessica ( @fantasmagorical_ on Instagram). Or consider giving your cat a costume for the occasion.

black and gray spider tattoo

Spider designs might be some of the most versatile in the spooky category. You could cause a fright at your next Halloween party with a realistic spider tattoo or weave an impenetrable web on your skin with an ode to your bold, Y2K aestheic. You could go for something more delicate, like New York City-based tattoo artist Sophia Yoo 's shoulder web, or bring a spidery spin to a realistic set of eye tattoos with webbed lower lashes.

Delicate spider web tattoo on someone's shoulder

Placed just under her client's knee, tattoo artist Kate Schultz created a witch-finger design that perfectly frames this specific part of their body. We're also big fans of the talon-tipped hands Valentine inked with eyeballs, serpents, and sparkles. Lee also often swaps out petals for witchy fingers to create flowers straight out of a fantasy novel.

Halloween Candy

This is something sweet to eat. If you're looking to go the next level, try having the lollipop swirl glow in the dark as seen here by tattoo artist Amanda Carmel .

Snake and Skull

There are two things that are iconic for Halloween: snakes and skulls. The snake is sliced up after its battle with a human skull drawn by Ricky Mo .

Cheshire Cat

Drawn by tattoo artist Toshy Kun , this cheshire cat tattoo is just creepy enough for the holiday.

Hand Full of "Flowers"

Instead of flowers, here's a bouquet of skulls, jack-o-lanterns, and candy corn to have you feeling festive this season. Drawn by tattoo artist Nathan Hill .

We're not exactly sure what's going on here, but it's definitely creepy. So hats off to tattoo artist Cristina Niettto .

The Invisible Man returns this Halloween. Tattoo artist Rest replicated the iconic character perfectly.

Skull Cherries

This may look delicious to eat, but beware of the skull-shaped cherries because you'll turn into a skeleton when you take one bite. Tattoo artist Trinity Blemings created this look "to make my Saturday bright 🍒✹"

Witchy Ghost

Most Halloween ghosts are intended to be spooky, but this one exudes some serious Casper the Friendly Ghost vibes. Drawn by artist Adhriane E. Rolim Gonçalves , we can't get over how cute this tattoo is — especially with the witch hat.

The Sam Lollipop

Tattoo artist j_le_strange captured a number of Halloween-themed goodies on this tattoo sleeve, including candy corn, bats, and a spider, but we especially love the half-bitten lollipop. It's a reference to the horror film Trick 'r Treat .

Creepy Candy

Speaking of candy, tattoo artist Leah Sharples nailed the spooky vibe of the holiday with this tattoo — particularly the wrapped eyeball piece. And then there's the tooth to remind us all how much dentists probably hate trick-or-treating.

Sorry, kitty, but that ghost costume isn't stopping anyone from knowing that there's a cat under the sheet. This cute tat was done by Sandbridge Tattoo artist Mandi Johnson .

Spooky Ghost

Halloween is the spookiest time of the year, and Tanya Fowler totally captured that with this tattoo. "I love everything about Halloween," Fowler tells Woman's Day . "[It's] my favorite time of the year."

Halloween Magic Trick

Jen Ellis described this unique piece in the photo's caption, saying it combined several of Ellis' favorite things: "Halloween, roller skating, magic, and the circus!" It was done by artist DonnaKlein .

Glowing Ghost

Artist Jessica V's Instagram bio says "Spoopy" (aka cute/spooky) year-round, and that also describes this tattoo. The little trick-or-treating ghost is beyond adorable, and we are obsessed with the lime green outline that gives the ghost a glowing effect.

Vampire Teeth

Who among us hasn't worn plastic vampire teeth for a Halloween costume at some point in their lives? Now this person gets to wear them forever thanks to artist mikesgarbageart .

Cherry Pumpkin

A cherry with a jack-o'-lantern face is now the perfect way to blend summer and fall, thanks to hand-poke tattoo artist blackscraps .

30 Best Halloween Tattoos to Keep the Spooky Spirit Alive All Year Long

Make a permanent statement with small designs, full sleeves or something in between.

halloween tattoos

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.

Double-Eye Tattoo

Seeing double? There's a good reason why. At least the long eyelashes add a touch of glam to this otherwise creepy eyeball.

Vampire Mickey Mouse Tattoo

How cute is Mickey Mouse in a vampire costume? By the looks of it, he'll be trick-or-treating from now ... until forever.

Eye Scream Tattoo

Eye scream, you scream, we all scream for this pumpkin and vampire-flavored ice cream. Not only will this tattoo give everyone the creeps, it'll also make them crave something sweet.

You'll feel batty year-round with this stunning tattoo on your arm. Paint the scene by adding a crescent moon and flowers.

Vampire Lady Tattoo

Pick a face, any face and make it Halloween-friendly with vibrant red blood streaks. Not to mention the bloody eyes and fangs.

Flower Coffin Tattoo

Perhaps, there was someone in your life who loved Halloween even more than you. If so, honor their legacy with a coffin embellished with their favorite flowers.

Scooby Tattoo

Zoinks! A cross-eyed Scooby is on the run from a mummy and swarm of bats.

Werewolf Tattoo

Werewolves are beautiful, but don't underestimate just how vicious they can be. They are monsters, after all.

Pearl Seashell Tattoo

Who needs candy and costumes when you have a string of pearls on your arm? If you're a Disney superfan, sprinkle in a few recognizable characters from The Little Mermaid.

The Show Must Go On Tattoo

This bird delivers an important message: No matter what happens in life, the show must always go on.

Kewpie Bat Tattoo

It may not be terrifying, but this tattoo is scary-cute! Kewpie Bat's tiny fangs and wings are too adorable to pass up.

Dog Portrait Tattoo

Your beloved pet will be forever immortalized with this look-a-like tattoo.

Wicked Witch Tattoo

Warning: Don't ever mess with a witch with an attitude because they'll cast a spell on you.

Sky Puppy Tattoo

This sky puppy may look nice and sweet, but watch out for his sneaky ways. Here, it looks like he's getting away with the crown jewel.

'Scream' Tattoo

"Do you like scary movies?" Good because this Scream -inspired tattoo is calling your name.

Jack-o'-Lantern Tattoo

You can count on this jack-o'-lantern tattoo to always watch your back. Or creep people out. Or both.

Eyeballs Tattoo

These eyeballs are creepy, kooky and altogether spooky — especially when they cover your whole arm.

Candlelight Ghost Tattoo

This ghost is ready to take you on a candlelight tour through the streets — a ghost tour, if you will.

'The Nightmare Before Christmas' Tattoo

We get it, The Nightmare Before Christmas also counts as a Christmas movie, but this Jack Skellington and Sally design is eerily beautiful. Convince your S.O. to get a matching tattoo as a declaration of your love for one another.

Captain Spaulding Tattoo

Welcome to the House of 1,000 Corpses , where Captain Spaulding will scare you straight ... and serve you tons of fried chicken.

The Best Halloween Tattoos for Spooky People

When you’re fascinated with all things dark, macabre, and spooky, Halloween is more than just pumpkins and candy. It’s a lifestyle, and it’s not limited to October.

To honor that dark love, we dug into the history of Halloween and gathered up some of the best Halloween tattoos we could find.

A Brief History of Halloween

Halloween  has its roots in an ancient Celtic tradition called  Samhain . The festivals of Samhain were held in late October, ushering in the dark winter. Historians believe that the celebrations lasted three days and nights, with roaring bonfires, sacrifices of crops and animals, fortune-telling, and elaborate feasts.

Not participating in Samhain wasn’t an option (sorry, introverts), as the Celts believed that party poopers would receive their punishment from the gods, usually in the form of illness or even death.

Legend says that the barrier between the natural and spiritual worlds all but disappeared during Samhain, allowing spirits and other entities to move freely between the realms. Fires offered one level of protection, but revelers also dressed up as monsters and animals to ward off ill-intentioned spirits. Jack-o-lanterns were carved out of turnips first, then out of pumpkins, another modern tradition with an ancient history.

Over the years, the traditions of Samhain merged with the fall traditions of other cultures, starting with the Romans who invaded Celtic lands. Christians later built on the old pagan traditions, creating All Saint’s Day to honor their dead. Many of the original Celtic traditions like bonfires and costumes remained intact, regardless of the holiday’s new name or identity, with new customs added. Eventually, people began to go house to house asking for food and money, the earliest form of trick-or-treating.

In the late 19th century, Americans tried to remove witchcraft and spiritual conversations from Halloween, reimagining it as a community holiday. It’s this version of Halloween that we see most often today. However, the age-old traditions of Samhain lie not far under the surface for anyone who is looking.

Odd, Creepy, and Generally Fantastic Halloween Tattoos

One of the best things about Halloween is the freedom to be, well, anything you want. These tattoos embrace all of the oddities of the holiday.

Samhain or not, you can always communicate with the spiritual realm when you’ve got an Ouija board.

DMCA POLICY

Dmca notice & takedown policy.

This Digital Millennium Copyright Act (“DMCA”) Policy is part of our Terms of Service , and the definitions therein shall apply unless otherwise defined herein.

We observe and comply with the DMCA, and have adopted the following Notice and Takedown Policy relating to claims of copyright infringement concerning any content on this Site or any related media.

Notice of Claimed Infringement

If you believe that your work has been copied in a way that constitutes copyright infringement, please provide our designated copyright agent identified below with the following information:

(1) Your name, address, telephone number, and e-mail address;

(2) A description of the copyrighted work that you claim has been infringed;

(3) The exact URL or web address where the alleged infringing material is located, along of a screenshot showing where the alleged infringing material is located;

(4) A statement by you that you have a good faith belief that the disputed use has not been authorized by you, your agent, or the law;

(5) Your electronic or physical signature or the electronic or physical signature of the person authorized to act on your behalf (it’s okay to just type your full name at the end of your notice); and

(6) A statement by you, made under penalty of perjury, that the information in your notice is accurate, and that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on the copyright owner’s behalf.

NOTE: If you submit a removal request and you are NOT the copyright owner, or if you make any false statement in your demand (including a statement that our use of images is infringing when the use is clearly fair), you should be aware that the law imposes substantial liability for any damages and any attorney’s fees incurred as a result. See 17 U.S.C. § 512(f).

Please do not send other inquires or information to our designated agent.

You may send your DMCA notice to our registered DMCA agent via email to [email protected]. Rather than emailing us, DMCA notices can be submitted in writing to our designated DMCA Agent (our “Agent”): Nicholas T. Sharp, 29834 N. Cave Creek Road, #118-311 Cave Creek, AZ 85331, USA. Mailing DMCA notices is strongly discouraged and may delay processing of your request.

Take Down Procedure

Our compliance with the DMCA should not be considered a promise, either express or implied, to remove any material from this Site. Removal is always done at our sole and absolute discretion, regardless of any discretionary take down procedures, including the following, that we may elect to adopt and/or utilize.

Upon receipt of any notification of claimed copyright infringement, we reserve the right, at any time, without notice or liability, to disable access to, or remove any material or activity accessible on or from the Site or any materials claimed to be infringing. We will attempt to act expeditiously to remove access to all material that infringes on another’s copyright, according to the procedure set forth in 17 U.S.C. §512 of the “DMCA”.

If any DMCA notice does not comply with §512 of the DMCA, but does comply with three requirements for identifying sites that are infringing according to §512 of the DMCA, we may attempt, but are under no obligation, to contact or take other reasonable steps to contact the complaining party to help that party comply with the notice requirements. When our Agent receives a valid notice, we will attempt to expeditiously remove and/or disable access to the infringing material and shall notify the affected user. Then, the affected user may submit a counter-notification to our Agent containing a statement made under penalty of perjury that the user has a good faith belief that the material was removed because of misidentification of the material. After our Agent receives the counter-notification, we may replace the material at issue within 10-14 days after receipt of the counter-notification unless our Agent receives notice that a court action has been filed by the complaining party seeking an injunction against the infringing activity.

DMCA Counter-Notification Procedure

If the recipient of a DMCA notice believes that the notice is incorrect and/or that the allegedly infringing material has been wrongly removed, the recipient may submit a counter-notification pursuant to Section 512(g)(2) & (3) of the DMCA. The information that a recipient provides in a counter-notification must be accurate and truthful, and the recipient will be liable for any misrepresentations that cause any claims to be brought against the Site.

To submit a counter-notification, please provide our Agent the following information:

(2) A specific description of the material that was removed or disabled pursuant to the notice;

(3) The exact URL or web address where the alleged infringing material was located, along of a screenshot showing where the alleged infringing material was located;

(4) The following statement: “I swear, under penalty of perjury, that I have a good faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of a mistake or misidentification of the material to be removed or disabled”;

(6) The following statement concerning jurisdiction: “I consent to the jurisdiction of the Federal District Court for the district in which my address is located, or if my address is outside of the United States, the United States District Court for the District of Arizona, and will accept service of process from the claimant.”

After receiving a compliant counter-notification, our Agent will forward it to us, and we will then provide the counter-notification to the claimant. Thereafter, within ten to fourteen days of our receipt of a counter-notification, we will replace or cease disabling access to the disputed material provided that we or our Agent have not received notice that the original claimant has filed an action seeking an appropriate court order.

Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure.

8. Additional Website Issues

(a) How Sharp Uses Technology to Improve Your Sharp Experience

Sharp uses cookies and web beacons, described below, to collect information about the pages you view, the links you click and other actions you take on our Site. Additionally, we collect certain standard information your browser sends to every website you visit, such as your IP address, browser type and language, access times and referring website addresses.

Most aggregate information is collected via cookies, web beacons and other technical methods. Web beacons, also known as clear gifs, in conjunction with cookies, are used to compile statistics about website usage. Web beacons are small pieces of data embedded in images on the pages of websites or applications. We or our service providers use these technical methods to analyze the traffic patterns on our website, such as the frequency with which our users visit various parts of the website and to measure site effectiveness or use of online products and services. We also use Web beacons in HTML e-mails that we send our visitors who have agreed to receive e-mail from us, to determine whether our recipients have opened those e-mails and/or clicked on links in those e-mails. On their own, cookies or Web beacons do not contain or reveal any personally identifiable information. However, if you choose to furnish Sharp with personally identifiable information, this information can be associated to the data stored in the cookies or Web beacons. These technical methods may involve the transmission of information either directly to us or to our service providers. You may render some Web beacons unusable by rejecting their associated cookies.

We also use cookies to store, and sometimes to track, user information. Cookies, by themselves, do not tell us your e-mail address or other personally identifiable information unless you choose to provide this information to us by, for example, registering or subscribing to our website. A cookie is a small amount of data that is sent to your browser from a Web server and stored on your computer’s hard drive. A cookie contains a unique number that allows our website to recognize your computer. We use both temporary and persistent cookies; a temporary cookie tracks visitor activity during a session or visit and it expires when you close your browser. We use them to provide continuity for your visit as you visit website pages. Persistent cookies allow us to keep track of your user name and password (if you are a subscriber) so you do not have to re-enter that information each time you visit. The Help function on most browsers contains information on how to set your browser to notify you before accepting cookies or to disable cookies entirely. However, if you do not accept cookies, you will not be able to take advantage of various features on our website that are available to other visitors.

Sharp wants to ensure you understand that accepting a cookie in no way gives us access to your computer or any personal information about you, other than the data you choose to share with us. We are aware many people have concerns about cookies; however, we believe the benefit we both gain from their proper use is worthwhile.

(b) Links to Third Party Websites

Links to third party websites are provided solely as a convenience to you. If you use these links you will leave the Site. Sharp has not comprehensively reviewed all of these third-party websites and does not control and is not responsible for any of these websites, their content or their privacy policies. Thus, Sharp does not make any representations about them, or any information, software or other products or materials found there or any results that may be obtained from using them. If you decide to access any of the third-party websites linked to our Site, you do this entirely at your own risk.
