Jack O’ Lantern
This black, grey, and orange tattoo is thrilling. We love the pairing of a rose with a pumpkin. It’s the perfect balance between scary and sweet.
Black Cat
This traditional style Halloween cat in a hat is a blast. We love this bold tattoo design.
Ghostly Goodness
Here’s a moody one! This eerie tattoo features thousands of dots that have been used to shade it. We love the contrast between the black and grey against the orange of the pumpkin.
Peanuts
It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown is a Halloween classic that’s been slaying the game since 1966. This tattoo pays homage to one of its cutest moments.
Wolfman
Classic monster movies like The Creature from the Black Lagoon and The Wolfman scared audiences in the 1940s and continue to captivate the imagination. We love this mask tattoo.
Michael Myers
John Carpenter‘s thriller, Halloween ushered in a new age of horror movie after it premiered in 1977. People have been obsessed with the masked killer, Michael Myers ever since. This amazing tattoo that mashes up Halloween and A Clockwork Orange is a winner.
Wicked
If there are two things we love, it’s cats and witches. This fabulous tattoo design combines so many things we love about this holiday. Take a look at that cat’s expression! We could use that menacing energy!
Casket Case
How about this casket tattoo with a spooky scene inside? We’re very much into this creative design.
Boo!
Here, we find another cemetery with some haunting imagery. We love the shape of this ghost, it’s so cute!
Poison Pumpkin
A Disney and Halloween is always a great idea! This reimagining of the poison apple from Snow White as a pumpkin is not only creative, it’s so delicious.
What a Nightmare!
Shock-Lock-Barrel! We love this Nightmare Before Christmas themed full sleeve. As the filler, this person has chosen Halloween candy, and we fully endorse that decision!
Teeths
Nothing says Halloween like plastic vampire fangs! This wonderfully weird tattoo pays homage to everyone’s favorite holiday costume and right of passage.
Cute!
1,000 yeses to this cutesie ghost tattoo. We love the inclusion of the bouquet of flowers here. Can we be friends?

Feeling Kinda Rotten
Sometimes you carve that pumpkin a little too early so by Halloween it looks a little like this. We love this creepy-crawly design.
Trinity
We didn’t know we needed a witch tattoo with three eyes, but here we are! This stunner is light on color which gives it an ethereal feel.
Spooky SpongeBob
Yes, we’d love Patrick dressed as a mummy and SpongeBob costumed as a vampire for the holiday! What an adorable tattoo.
Vintage
The person who shared this image explained that the design was inspired by an old postcard for Halloween. It’s so completely unnerving. We’d like one too!
Hocus Pocus!
Hocus Pocus changed the world after it premiered in 1993. It’s now considered a classic Halloween adventure movie. This tattoo of Bette Midler as Winifred Sanderson is everything!
The Book
We can’t get enough of the Hocus Pocus love! Another fan got a tattoo of the iconic Spellbook featured in the film. If you recall, the book was given to Winnie by the devil himself.
Jason
Ch-ch-ch, ah-ah-ah! Friday the 13th is another Halloween favorite. The movie features one of the best villains ever, Jason. We love this homage to the evil, hockey mask-wearing murderer.
How’s Your Head?
Here’s another unsettling tattoo! A girl with a pumpkin for a head manages to be way creepier than any gore.
Batty
Bats have gotten a bad reputation since the start of the pandemic, but they’re actually cute! Okay, this tattoo is cute actual bats, not-so-much.
