Tattoo Photo 18: Skulls And Horror

A lot of people love horror films and film monsters often become tattoo subjects.
Realistic style tattoos are the stars of the show here and in fact our gallery features tattoos of characters such as Jason (Friday the 13th), Pinhead (Hellraiser), Doctor Hannibal Lecter (The Silence of the Lambs), Freddy Krueger from Nightmare on Elm Street, the classic Frankenstein’s monster and the evil ‘tribe’ of clown assassins.

Also very popular as tattoos are vampires and zombies, where portraits rule, although many great realism pieces concentrate on specific details: a bleeding mouth, eyes crying tears of blood, vampire bites or torn and sewn up skin are some brilliant examples.

While realism and blood feature in horror tattoos, skulls are used in some amazing experimental tattoos. So a realistic style tattoo might blend with other artistic styles: impressionism, cubism, surrealism, pop art and cutting edge graphic design.As you can see in this terrifyingly wonderful collection!
