For a devilish exterior, demon tattoos for men are unparalleled. They strike a perfect balance between occult imagery, masculine energy and goth sex appeal. Plus, they can be construed with a variety of counterculture connotations.

To craft a physique that is simultaneously slick and forceful, mysterious gentlemen prefer demon tattoos. These magnificent beasts exude powerful personality, and their presence can be tied to a variety of distinct backgrounds.

At the most basic level, male demon tattoos reflect proclivities in the way of nihilism and darkness. Baphomet, the goat-headed figure, is probably the most popular choice, but there are endless satanic critters to get inked!

Countless demonic icons fill history’s canon, and you can combine all sorts of monstrous deities for an anachronistic amalgamation of evil. From chiseled gods to decrepit gargoyles, you can fine-tune your demonic possession precisely!

Some guys also get demon tattoos to remind themselves of the inner demons they are personally overcoming. The constant threat of relapsing to an old way of being can be placed in a permanently visible area to keep you on the right trajectory. Still, the following gallery of demon tattoos for guys is so righteous that no one will want to overcome the fabled lords of chaos pictured ahead!

This is a large black and gray piece that uses shading to create a life-like demon. The fully saturated black in the eyes increases contrast and helps the negative space and white highlights to standout. The coils in the mouth of the demon also have a bio-mechanical feel that contrasts stylistically with the flames on the top of the piece and works well to set this piece apart from other demon designs. Another interesting feature in this tattoo is the way the artist expertly left negative space at the bottom of the design, giving the impression of the flesh being torn away to reveal the demon beneath.
