Top 50 ‘IT’ Tattoos – Littered With Garbage

Every 27 years, It must feed on the children of Derry, Maine – for many of us, the need and desire for a new tattoo is far stronger and required far more frequently.

Fair warning, we won’t get into a debate about which Pennywise we prefer and if the 2017 feature film lived up to the original 1990 television miniseries. All we’ll say is that Tim Curry, as Pennywise the Dancing Clown, has all but been forgotten since the new IT film; the last year has seen Pennywise 2.0 dominate the Instagram hashtags.

There were more tattoos that we could have included in this post; however, due to many of them being colour realism (and of the same image), we have included only a few. Our aim was to ensure we focused on a range of styles, ideas and concepts to promote artists in the tattoo industry who go above and beyond with their work.

Find your inspiration in Stephen King’s novel and one of IT’s many manifestations, screenshots from either movie, and in the tattoos below.
Once you’ve had a good look at these top 50 IT tattoos, check out these spoopy Pennywise tattoos.
