Classic Beetlejuice Snake Tattoo
Review starts at [00:02:27]
First on our list is an epic piece inspired by Beetlejuice. Great use of purples and greens from the movie; it looks like Tim Burton himself picked the color palette. The detail on this piece is mind-blowing. You’ve got the sinister snake with unexpected color choices that make it pop. It's like Tim Burton waved his spooky wand. If you're a fan of the movie, this is a must-see.
Horror Film Tattoo
Review starts at [00:03:57]
Up next is a centipede tattoo featuring horror icons. From Pennywise to Captain Spalding, these faces are easily recognizable. Tarantula webs and meticulous line work make this piece stand out.
Michael Myers Portrait Tattoo
Review starts at [00:06:00]
Nothing screams Halloween quite like Michael Myers. This portrait tattoo embodies everything creepy and cool. Wes appreciates the balanced use of reds and blacks to create a hauntingly lifelike image. Special mention to the hand wrapping around the knife, which can be a tricky detail to get right.
Ghost and Jack-o-Lantern Tattoo
Time Stamp: [00:07:00]

Halloween Glitter & Cartoon Tattoo
Time Stamp: [00:08:33]
Up next is a lava lamp filled with glitter and candy corn—with a cat thrown in for good measure. It’s colorful, cartoony, and just plain fun. Perfect if you want a touch of playful exuberance in your spooky ink collection.
Friday the 13th Realism Portrait Tattoo
Time Stamp: [00:10:50]
A truly terrifying portrait tattoo of Jason from the Friday the 13th classics to finish off. This piece includes an ominous background of trees that takes it to another level of scary realism. Get ready to be creeped out just looking at it.
