All About Ghost Tattoo
People have always been attracted by mysticism and everything connected with it. And what can be more mysterious and otherworldly than a ghost, and what can make a person get such a tattoo - let's figure it out.
Meaning
There are several interpretations of the "Ghost" tattoo:
- it can be chosen by a risk lover - one who is not averse to “playing hide and seek” with dark forces;
- practically the opposite meaning - the silence, shyness of the carrier, his thoughts that he himself, like a ghost, is invisible to other people;
- another interpretation is the association of oneself with a restless vengeful soul, which will stop at nothing in the name of completing all its planned affairs;
- also, such a tattoo can serve as a kind of amulet against real ghosts, a demonstration of belonging to their "caste".
Much also depends on how the ghost is depicted:
- if this is a classical translucent figure with a face expressing sorrow, then one can interpret it as a symbol of despondency, longing, reflections on the fleetingness and futility of being;
- a sweet and smiling otherworldly entity (including a cartoon one) means a kind of black humor, playfulness, courage, sufficient for "flirting" with death;
- ghosts from films and fiction are most often just the desire of fans to wear an image of their favorite hero on their bodies.
Popular sketches
Since we are talking about cinema and animation, here is a list of the most frequently ordered sketches:
- Beetlejuice;
- cute baby Casper;
- Hogwarts ghosts: Nearly Headless Nick, Bloody Baron, Fat Monk, Gray Lady;
- Hanzo Hasashi (Scorpio) from Mortal Kombat;
- Raziel from Legacy of Kain;
- Kaonashi (Faceless God Kaonashi) - "Spirited Away";
- the Ghostbusters logo, as well as their faithful friend, the Ghost Slimer;
- the most famous ghost ship is the Flying Dutchman.
In addition, sometimes people who are versed in the folklore and mythology of different countries ask for unusual tattoos depicting a variety of spirits and otherworldly creatures. In this case, the interpretation of the tattoo will completely depend on the characteristics of the chosen creation.
Now let's look at a photo of some interesting sketches:
- the classic ghost "in the sheet";
- bright and well-recognizable logo of the famous "Ghostbusters";
- a rather eerie monochrome ghost with tentacles and a mournful expression;
- a variation on the theme of "Ghost Rider" - a hero in a hood on a "pumped-over" bike;

Where can I get it?
You can apply a tattoo depicting a ghost on any part of the body - the interpretation will not change in any way. Only the scale and detail of the picture is important.
For example, placing the same "Ghost Rider" required the entire upper back, while for a baby ghost there will be enough room on a girl's wrist.
