Tattoo Trends: Christmas Tats


Festive Themed Body Ink


I hope you all had a lovely Christmas and are gearing up for a fun New Year.

I thought I'd do a Tattoo Trends post as I haven't done one for a while and I've recently found out about a strange range of tattoos that are fitting for this time of year; Christmas tattoos.

I'm not sure what makes a person want to brand themselves with a permanent reminder of the festive season; maybe they want to continue the warm and fuzzy season all year round, or maybe they're a little strange and sickly. Whatever the reason, this seems to be a fairly popular if obscure tattoo trend.

A lot of the tattoos feature typical Christmassy items, such as holly...

and snowflakes.

There are also a lot of tattoos that feature characters from festive films or books, especially Dr Seuss' The Grinch.

Plus, there's a very large percentage of people with The Nightmare Before Christmas tattoos.

This is really a whole trend in itself.


Many people have tattoos that feature Old Saint Nick himself; I still can't decide if these people should be classed as young-at-heart or dangerously naive.

Finally, there are quite a few anti-Santa tattoos out there.

I'm sure these tattoos are making a very deep statement about Father Christmas and the whole festive season, but frankly they just freak me out.


Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year everyone!
