Small sizes are perfect for a Cute Halloween tattoo and you can try any color according to your skin color tone.
Halloween Face Tattoo
Face tattoos are always very exposing and extreme for visible. Those who have a face tattoo usually have a second look and usually remember the person for these exceptional special attributes. Halloween face tattoos are extreme designs so not many people usually go for it.
Halloween tattoos are not that very much simply designed tattoos to follow, so for a face tattoo, it’s a big decision indeed and as you can see in the picture, the tattoo in the face is almost covered and the amount of pain is quite unbearable. So if you are thinking of a Halloween face tattoo, you should go for a simpler design.
Simple Halloween Tattoo
The basic symbols used for a Halloween festival are the main designs of a Simple Halloween tattoo. As you can see in the picture, a scary pumpkin head and a cat is peeping through the pumpkin head which looks really adorable.
So a simple halloween tattoo is actually a cute little design, which is easy to get and looks really adorable. Small sized designs are appropriate for this particular design and you can use any sorts of color according to your wish.
Traditional Halloween Tattoo
Traditional tattoos are one of the most demanding tattoos of all time. The design differs according to the location and culture. Every person wants to keep their own tradition and culture and a tattoo maniac would surely love to express his own thoughts through his own surrounding culture and tradition.
Unusual in design, they are very unique and complicated and not every tattoo artist can ink any type of traditional design as it is something to adapt from the core. Halloween is the best type of theme for a traditional tattoo and big size designs are more preferable for Traditional Halloween tattoos.
Halloween Hand Tattoo
Hand tattoos are very common and everyone who wants a tattoo usually wants them in a visible area like the hand. Simple types of design are more preferable for hand tattoos and it is one of the painful areas to get inked.
You can use any kind of color to add more soothing beauty but I would suggest getting easy tattoos to avoid pain. Halloween symbols are the first choice for those who are considering getting a hand tattoo. A design actually depends on the size of the hand , color of the tone. So before getting one, you should look more for best results.
Halloween Pumpkin Tattoo
Halloween Pumpkin tattoos are the most used idea if you are thinking of a Halloween designed tattoo. Those who are thinking of an original Halloween design definitely try this one for sure. It is very simple in design and easy to understand the concept.
Pumpkin tattoos are usually smaller in size and artists try to keep it simple for better view. I have done a lot of pumpkin based tattoos in my parlor and most of them try colorful ink especially orange color for the pumpkin shades. You can add other designs along with the pumpkin if your design is relevant.
Scary Halloween Tattoo
The characters and themes of Scary movies are quite a popular concept for Halloween lovers. To add more “fright”, folks used the Scary mask as a design along with the pumpkin for the Halloween tattoo idea. Knives are also used for more realistic concepts.
In my studio, I suggest my clients for a bigger space to continue with this kind of idea. With some space you can use many types of designs to the idea and add relevant symbols for more realistic ideas. Colorful ink can be used for better results.
Halloween Finger Tattoo
The tattoo you can see in the picture is designed and inked by me. It was my client’s first tattoo. I discussed the pain in the finger areas, but he insisted on a finger tattoo. Being a Halloween fan he asked me for the Halloween tattoo on his finger. Being his first tattoo I don’t want him to feel the extreme pain so tried this very simple design and he was amazingly happy with the end result.
So, if you are thinking of a Halloween finger tattoo, you can go for a simpler design for best results and small perfections make the tattoo more worthy and appealing. Black and White tone is much appropriate for finger tattoos. I personally recommend this type of swanky tattoos if you are thinking of one for yourself.
Halloween Inspired Tattoo
While thinking of a tattoo idea, many mix up their actual design and add up more interesting designs for better results and meaning. For example, someone wants his or her favorite animal to be inked but then he thinks it will be much simpler, then he searches for a relevant design which matches up with his animal, thus how an inspired tattoo is developed.
The idea of Halloween inspired tattoos is much used as people want to mix their ideas to create new unique designs. Sometimes in the middle of a tattoo session, people come up with ideas instantly and think it will enhance the beauty of the Tattoo. Halloween inspired tattoos are different and very much uncommon in design you can try.
Michael Myers Halloween Tattoo
Halloween movies are always favorite to many admirers and some people want to keep the memory of the movies with a tattoo mixing with the Halloween tattoo ideas. Michael Myers is such a character and so much in demand that a huge crowd wants Myers’ tattoo to keep the memories.
This tattoo idea is not simple as a face of a character is always hard to bring up with accurate shades. Expert tattoo artist is essential if you are thinking of a Micheal Myers Halloween tattoo. Big spaces like arms, shoulders, thighs ,chests are suitable for a Mayers tattoo. Pumpkin with the Myer is an amazing duo without any doubts.
Vintage Halloween Tattoo
Classic designed Halloween tattoo ideas mainly represent the Vintage Halloween tattoos. As we know, Halloween is a thousand years old festival and people have been using these designed tattoos for hundreds of years. But the design is changing with the change of time and people are trying new tattoos.
Those who are still looking for the classic designs usually go for the Vintage Halloween tattoo ideas. Mainly these designs follow the old school designs. For example, you can see a spider with a web, and at the back of the spider, the design is pumpkin shaped halloween theme and the details are incredibly beautiful. If you want to try vintage designed tattoos, you can definitely try something like this.
Black Cat Halloween Tattoo
Black cats mainly represent wizardry or Halloween. So those who are considering getting inked for a black tattoo should try the Black Halloween tattoo for better results as this idea looks very fascinating to me.
Quite big in design as there are two subjects in a single tattoo ,and both of them merge beautifully with meaning and design as well. As in the picture, the cat is wearing a “wizard” hat and sitting above a Halloween pumpkin which looks very creepy and staggering.
Halloween Knife Tattoo
Knife tattoos are very much common for those who are looking for Halloween based tattoo ideas. Knives are also considered to be the symbol of death which clearly resembles the Halloween concept. Combining a knife with the Halloween pumpkin is very demanding; the design looks pretty eye-catching.
I personally like the design and concept of the combining Knife Halloween tattoo. It has options of bigger and smaller in size and both of the designs look good and meaningful. One can make a scary one and if not can make something relatable.
Minimalist Halloween Tattoo
It is a very simple tattoo consisting of just small and precisely designed tattoos. This type of tattoo looks amazingly cute and adorable and a perfectly shaped one actually looks very lovely on your skin. Usually clients keep these kinds of tattoos, somewhere visible. It is a great tattoo for a mature tattoo enthusiast.
Minimalist Halloween tattoos are widely used and very much in the mainstream. Hands, fingers, necks, behind the ear, these kinds of places are suitable for a minimalist tattoo. You can use any kind of color as your wish related to the tattoo idea.
