Top Grim Reaper Tattoos Designs

Grim reaper tattoo are one of the most popular types of tattoo designs around. Although it symbolizes death, many people still love this particular type of tattoo design because it is also a rebellious symbol of defying death. That is the reason why so many hardcore bikers get the grim reaper tattoo because of their rebellious nature.

Although the grim reaper tattoos are particularly popular, it is still possible to customize and make your own grim reaper tattoo stand out from the rest. Here are some great ideas to add a "twist" to your grim reaper tattoos:

Rose Grim Reaper Tattoo

You can add more colors to your grim reaper tattoos by adding bright red roses to it. The color contrast of red and black will turn out very well and the same goes for purple roses or orange roses. Adding roses to the grim reaper tattoos can also play down the rebellious impression that the tattoo gives out.
Skull Grim Reaper Tattoo

If you are looking for the ultimate grim reaper tattoos designs that say "rebellious", the skull grim reaper tattoo is definitely a great choice. Both the skull and the grim reaper are symbols of death and rebel and if you add these two designs together, it will turn out as one evil tattoo.

Cartoon Grim Reaper Tattoo

Looking for something that is not too evil or rebellious? Then you should consider getting a more cartoonish grim reaper tattoo. These are the cuter versions of the grim reaper and definitely will not come across as evil to many people.

These are a few ideas to consider if you want to make your grim reaper tattoo unique. Besides the designs itself, you can also play around with the placement of your tattoo. But most grim reaper tattoos are considerably big in size, you have to choose a part of your body to fit the design in.

For example, you can place your grim reaper tattoo on your arm, your back and also at the side of your calves. These are all great places to get your grim reaper tattoos done because most grim reaper tattoos has quite a bit of detail, you would want to choose a part on your body so that the design will fit without compromising the details of the tattoos.

But ultimately, it is important to choose and tattoo a design only if you really like it. Think about how you will feel about the tattoo ten years later and consider if you will still love the tattoo as much. Although the technology allows you to remove your tattoo if you want to, it will definitely cost more and hurt even more! So think twice before you make your final decisions.

Frequently Asked Questions

QUESTION:
Crazy Halloween Costume Idea: Yes or No?
I am so sick of it; for the past [I don't even remember how many] years I've been the grim reaper. Since this is my last trick-or-treat outing, I want something new.

One of my younger brother's friends last year put together a cool costume with a green hooded robe, a robot-like mask with light-up eyes and a voice changer, and a wizard scepter. I want to make my own crazy costume this year, too!

Looking through Halloween store ads, I came up with this:
1.) Use my old grim reaper costume as the base
2.) Put on a glowing robot-like visor
3.) Wear boxing gloves
4.) Get some sort of voice changer
5.) Carry a scythe in one hand, and a bazooka+candy bag in the other (I'll make the bazooka myself, with PVC or something)
6.) A cape or jetpack for good measure

What do you think? I also need a good name for it that I can tell people when they ask who the heck I'm supposed to be.
It's not a garbage can, nor is it a junkman. It's way cooler than that. My current name idea is the "cyber reaper".
Also, tell me what things I could add on still.
- ANSWER:
  thats pretty cool. Call yourself the junkman!
  I'm gonna be a pirate skeleton witch bride!
QUESTION:
My son wants to be a grim reaper for halloween but how can we do this without a mask? (see Pic)?

See what make up will do for you by not wearing it? It ages your skin
- ANSWER:
  do you know any really good face painters on your street? maybe you can ask them to put some grey and white face paint on it's face. It is good that he chose not to put the mask on. Because they can be hard to breath in and make you all sweaty!
  
  Good luck, and have a happy halloween!!!
QUESTION:
How is my holloween story?
Rodney and Jessica were in a costume shop, browsing the racks of witches' masks and zombie suits.
"Hey, here's a good one!" Jessica called, holding a grotesque mask in front of her face to show Rodney.
"Ew, gross, it looks like my grandma, but with more hair," Rodney said, making a face.
Jessica sighed and put the mask back.
"You just can't be happy, can you?" she asked.
"Hey, it's your mask. Go as whatever you want, don't let me decide," he responded. He was walking away from her now, looking left and right at the full-body costumes hanging from the shelves.
"Whatever," Jessica said, and walked the other way, towards the scary props section to check out some bloody plastic sickles.
Rodney walked down the hall slowly, looking like a ten-year-old faced with a candy buffet. He walked past the cloaks, robes, hoods, lions, other various animals, famous movie characters, and assorted random people, such as ninjas and pirates. A particularly gruesome thing caught his eye in the corner, an ugly green troll. Upon closer inspection, however, he found that the suit was very low-quality. He wouldn't be scaring anybody wearing that thing. He poked the troll's big ugly nose, and the whole thing fell over. It had been sitting on a box, he saw, and something was poking out of it. Curious, he opened the box and pulled out the contents.
It was some kind of death suit, as far as he could tell. The main body was a black cloak, and a black hood was pulled up over a hideous skull. The skull was deformed and misshapen, but that somehow added to the frightening effect. He reached his hand out to touch it, and found it rubbery and cold. Tentatively, he put it on, hiding his face behind the mask and under the hood, slipping his arms into skeleton-gloves that looked real. He picked up a metallic scythe, also in the box, and held it in what he thought was a menacing position. He peered into a mirror at the end of the aisle and jumped a little at his reflection. He honestly looked like the messenger of death, eyes black pieces of burnt coal, nose just two slits in his skinless face. He took the costume off and searched for his sister. He found her back in the masks section, looking again at witches.
"Hey. Ready to go?" he asked, startling her a little. She almost dropped the hag's mask she had been about to put on.
"Just a sec," she said, and slipped on the mask. Rodney looked at her carefully, studying. It was a pretty good mask; fairly realistic, creepily scary, and it would go great with the small crooked sickle she had also picked out.
"Looks great, now let's go," he said.
"Really?" she asked, taking the mask off. "Great. Thanks."
They carried their items to the checkout line, where they waited behind a stout old man who was buying candy, supposedly for trick-or-treaters but most likely for himself. When the large man had finished, Jessica placed her scythe and mask on the counter. The clerk ran her scanner over the bar codes of each, and the total came up to almost twenty dollars.
"A bit expensive, isn't it?" Jessica asked, handing the clerk the money.
"The best," the clerk replied. "Worth every penny."
"Would you still say that if you didn't work here?" Jessica asked, smiling as she took her small bag of stuff.
The clerk smiled back a little, and gestured to Rodney.
Rodney placed the costume and scythe on the counter and watched as the clerk searched them for price tags. Unable to find any, he called on the intercom:
"Price check for..." He looked at the face and scythe. "Grim Reaper costume and scythe accessory, please."
A few seconds later, a reply came. "Grim Reaper plus scythe? .95."
"Okay, thank you," the clerk said, and rang up the total. Rodney paid, but couldn't help feeling that he was being charged for the wrong item. He had seen a Grim Reaper costume earlier, and it had looked a lot cheesier and probably cost a lot less. The scythe, too. You could barely tell this one was plastic.
"Thank you," Rodney said, and he and Jessica walked out into the parking lot.

"Are you ready yet?" Jessica called up the stairs impatiently.
"Just a minute!" Rodney called back, his voice slightly muffled by the death mask he wore. He studied himself in the mirror. He looked scary, all right. Very scary.
He walked downstairs, showing Jessica his costume for the first time. She made a face, much like the one he had given her when she had shown him the witch's mask that looked like his grandma.
"Ew, it's disgusting," she said, looking sick. Then she laughed. "It's great! It looks real, too. I bet you'll win the costume contest, if there is one."
"You think?" he asked, voice still muffled a little. She would never tell him this, but she felt better when he spoke. She felt better knowing that under the horrible costume, it was still her brother.
"Definitely," she responded confidently. "Now let's go or we'll be late," she said, and they got into the car and drove away.

There was no costume contest at the party
- ANSWER:
  lol, no costume contest.
  
  it's good.
