Zombies have made their own indentation in history. Some of their earliest incarnations stems from the spiritual belief in Voodoo, which tells the story of deceased humans being reanimated by a sorcerer. But they are most recognizable in films, and have become one of the most terrifying emblems in horror culture. Zombie tattoos have grown to be a symbol of peoples’ fascination with life, death and everything in between.Many people like to use a kitschier image with their zombie tattoos. These take on a distinctly Halloween-ish image, and are usually quite colorful. They often depict the image of a decaying body, walking stiffly with a blank expression on their face. Some people also like to use a more graphic image, showing scenes akin to George Romero’s ‘Night of the Living Dead.’
Other people prefer zombie tattoos that look more like a cartoon. These creatures tend to have more exaggerated features; a head that is mostly skull and exposed brain, exceptionally large eyes (usually with one falling from the socket) and torn, bloodied clothing.
