Specializing in Horror Tattoos
“Horror” isn’t a tattoo style, per se, but it is a genre. Further, each month dozens of people come online and search “best horror tattoo artist near me” in Vancouver, which is why we have put together this resource page. As someone among this group who has an affinity with things that evoke strong emotions like fear, dread, shock, and disgust in most (not you!) you are ready to get a work of body art on your body parts (heh heh). While you can get whatever you like in this vein, common subjects for horror tattoos include the following:
- Famous and not-so famous villains from Hollywood and independent horror movies. Horror-porn character Art the Clown has become particularly popular as a tattoo subject over the last couple of years.
- Characters associated with death and the supernatural that have been around since the beginning of storytelling, dating back to the medieval times and earlier. These include ghosts, goblins, vampires, and the undead (i.e. zombies).
- Haunted houses.
- Haunted forests.
- Skulls, skeletons, and bones.
- Mad scientists and their experiments.
- The occult, including scenes and symbols associated with witchcraft, demonic possession, cursed objects, and forbidden knowledge.
- Scenes depicting psychological madness, insanity, distorted reality, and the terrifying capabilities of the human mind.
- Scenes depicting unsettling transformations, violations, or decay of the physical body.
- Scenes depicting apocalyptic scenarios and the breakdown of societal structures.
- Weaponry often associated with the above, and often with blood dripping from them.
- Otherworldly terrors connected to aliens and supernatural beings.
When it comes to the actual style for your upcoming horror tattoo, all bets are off. While we commonly see horror tattoos done in blackwork, black and grey, realism, and surrealism, there are no rules whatsoever. Choose a style that you connect with from this large list.
