12 Halloween Tattoos Inspired By 'Halloweentown,' 'Hocus Pocus,' & More

The mayor of Halloween Town is an under-appreciated character — Jack, Sally, and Oogie Boogie get all the attention, but this local politician’s mood swings are, admittedly, relatable. Tattoo artist Cory Craft’s piece feels true to both the character and the American traditional style of tattooing, and the color palette is just *chef’s kiss*.

We all have a collective memory of popping in some plastic vampire fangs and the way they cut into your gums, but you were determined to wear them anyway. If trick-or-treating and school Halloween parties hold a special place in your heart, a vampire teeth tattoo — like this one by Dom Wagner — could be a super cute tribute. That little pumpkin treat just out of focus is pretty awesome, too.

Yes, that’s the Sanderson sisters’ spell book, complete with its signature moving eyeball clasp. Artist Marty Fletcher managed to fit so much texture and detail into this tattoo (those stitches!).

Arguably the best Disney Channel Original Movie to ever exist, what mom alive today doesn’t have fond memories of watching Halloweentown? This tattoo of Merlin’s talisman, by artist Marisa Rae Mathews, is such a cool ode to the classic movie.

If you like traditional tattoos, artist Casey Sullivan’s rendition of Benny, the skeleton taxi driver from Halloweentown, will definitely speak to you. It looks cool whether anyone knows who Benny is or not, but when someone recognizes him, you’ll have found a new friend.

OK, this one is a deep, deep cut for Halloweentown lovers: Grandma Aggie’s walking alligator purse from a later installment in the franchise, Halloweentown High. Tattoo artist Skylar Rose Wasserman totally nailed this one, down to the glittery magic background.

I’m sorry, has there ever been a cuter Halloween tattoo? I think not. UK-based artist Jack Barrow has a signature bold style that really stands out in a crowd. This design — of a content little ghostie knitting itself a Ghostface something-or-other — is perfect for moms who love their hobbies and Halloween in equal measure.

A Jack Skellington jack-o-lantern? Sign me up. Tattoo artist Moisés Filho’s black and gray piece looks real enough to reach out and touch, and it’s perfect for fans of the Pumpkin King who don’t want Jack’s entire (very long) body tattooed on theirs.

Um, excuse me, who knew Halloween tattoos could be this freaking adorable? This little witch frog holding its bottled-up ghost was drawn and tattooed by Dani Harkey. If this is the vibe you want for your Halloween tattoo, you have to scroll through her Instagram and look at her work.

If you didn’t grow up fantasizing about wandering through a desolate, dark mansion, clutching your candlestick in your hand, do you even love Halloween? This piece by artist Millie Barton combines a candleholder, spider webs, and the cutest little flame ghosts into a truly unique tattoo.

There’s nothing more iconic and Halloween-y than the silhouette of a looming haunted mansion with bats flying out of the attic beneath a bright moon. Artist Austin Britt’s tattoo even includes a cemetery in the front yard, and the whole piece is framed perfectly inside a coffin.

Are you a fan of all things witchy? This cauldron by tattoo artist Becci Murphy is boiling, toiling, troubling, and clearly cooking up something truly magical.
