Halloween and tattoos have always had a healthy relationship. Because it evokes inner personalities and inspires artists. In fact, October is a month which allows everyone to feel their inner darkness free of judgement. Unlike other months, it brings together people who love the dark and spooky. Horror fans come together at events, like Spooky Empire, to express themselves. When at events like these, people can get flash designs and full sleeves. They can meet actors, and revel in horror fantasies. Because of this, people feel a sense of community and culture surrounding the spooky season.

These means of expression can vary in subject matter. People who feel connections to the Halloween season and horror movies are no exception. These designs might scare some, and potentially give off a negative impression. But they are generally a reflection an individual’s personality. Although, these scary tattoos could represent a significant moment in someone’s life. They could be a connection to a loved one – acting as a reminder of a date they shared.
