Christmas Day may only come around once a year but that doesn’t discourage everyone from opting for a Christmas tattoo. We’ve rounded up 17 of the stand-out Christmas tattoos, some good and some not so good!
First up it’s Santa in his sleigh. It gets a thumbs up from us… very detailed and Santa is looking as he should do, in the Christmas spirit!
The next tattoo is one for the older generation. It’s the snowman from Calvin and Hobbes, a cartoon strip which was published over a decade from 1985 until 1995.
A nice Christmas scene here below, who could object to that?
This is a fantastic Christmas tree below. We’re yet to see a better one but as always if you know of one feel free to send it in to us.
Father Christmas? Or a zombie? Or both? We don’t know except that the tattoo below is definitely a big FAIL!
We like the next tattoo. A lot of creativity has gone into it, certainly inspired by Darwin with a Christmas theme. Is that what Santa was like according to Darwin’s theory? Or was he able to avoid the evolutionary process?
The next one is our all-time favourite Christmas tattoo. It’s brilliant – a re-mark of the famous scene in Die Hard but with a Christmas theme thanks to the festive tape. Whoever thought of this tattoo deserves a huge congratulations, we love it!
It’s the Grinch, clearly someone isn’t too fond of this time of year!
Simple, yet cute. We like the holly – in fact, it’s perhaps surprising that there aren’t more holly tattoos around.
This is Jack Skellington as a snowman. Jack is the character from the film The Nightmare Before Christmas.
Now here’s someone who doesn’t mess around. Why have separate tattoos of Santa, Jesus and the Easter Bunny when you can combine them all into one single tattoo?
As reindeers go they don’t come much better than the tattoo below. Interestingly for once Rudolph wasn’t chosen.
Fans of Star Wars and Christmas will no doubt deem Santa Yoda as the ultimate Christmas tattoo. We almost agree, it’s a good one, but the Die Hard tattoo above just shades it for us.
Ok, so whoever opted for the tattoo below has clearly had some bad presents from Santa over the years…
Christmas wouldn’t be Christmas without the elves running around working hard in the background. We’re not sure about the two below though, they look like they would be elf outcasts.
Bill Porter, the wrestler that’s better known as “the Southern Grizzly”, decided to help out the Toys for Tots charity with this tattoo, whilst also staging a wrestling event in aid of the charity. Hats off to Bill, you can’t knock a tattoo when it’s done for charity.
If you’ve watched Elf then you’ll instantly recognise Will Ferrell and if you haven’t you’ll probably recognise him anyway. He was a great character and has been remembered below with a great tattoo.
