After an eight year hiatus, the ugliest motherfucker in all of cinema is about to hit screens once more later this week. Don’t worry if you haven’t seen the third movie in the Predator franchise (excluding Alien vs Predator) as The Predator acts as a sequel to Predator and Predator 2, but occurs before the events of 2010’s Predators. Humans often come off second best when confronted with these extraterrestrial species, but it sure does make for some suspenseful and action-packed films. When it comes to your own Predator tattoo, don’t be a victim – do your research so that the finished piece will be the most well executed ugly tattoo…

Facehuggers, chestbursters, and full-grown Xenomorphs from the Alien film franchise are all here in their spoopy tattoo glory. Don’t be fooled by these xenomorphs – they may be pastel and look adorable but they’re still deadly. A free hug, no matter how lonely you may be, is just not worth the risk. Riddle us this: if a spoopy facehugger attaches itself to a human, does that mean when it inevitably bursts through their host’s chest, that it is followed by a whole bunch of colourful confetti and glitter?  You could take this idea and make it a reality with your own tattoo if you so desire. Use these tattoos on…

Following on from the success of 1931’s Frankenstein, Boris Karloff reprised his role as Frankenstein’s monster in the 1935 sequel, The Bride of Frankenstein. Henry Frankenstein – Victor in the book – under duress from his former mentor forced to create a mate for his monster. Like most others, the Bride immediately judges Frankenstein’s monster because she doesn’t know any better; they’re both flawed creatures, created by flawed people, with little opportunity to learn any better. The title of the film is rather deceptive as the Bride features very little, and meets her demise along with Frankenstein’s monster. Read into it what you will: that true love doesn’t exist or cannot be forced;…

The Hippogriff is a magical creature similar to a Griffin. While both creatures have the head, front legs and wings of an eagle, it is their back halves which differ; a Griffin has the rear of a lion and a Hippogriff has the body, hind legs, and tail of a horse. Buckbeak (later renamed Witherwings) is likely the most well-known Hippogriff; however, this mythical creature has been around since long before Harry Potter. The first recorded mention of the Hippogriff was made by the Latin poet Virgil in his Eclogues over 2000 years ago. A Hippogriff tattoo could make for the perfect reminder of your Universal Studios experience, especially if the…
