In the end, we are all going to die, so we might as well have the decency to be real about it. To embrace your macabre mortality is a masculine manner, why not try a timeless tombstone tattoo?

For a calculatingly eerie effect, guys can smoothly get in touch with their deadly dark side!

All it takes is a titillating taste of tombstone ink. The imagery may seem morbid to some, but that is merely a matter of perspective. In truth, the fatalistic presentation can actually serve as a constant reminder to maximize your engagement with life while you are living it.

When it comes to inserting font on your tombstone tattoo, there are literally endless possible options. While the most recurring choice seems to be a memorial for a lost loved one, some experimental thinkers are pushing the limits of this concept. For example, some guys get their own name tattooed. To amp up the unsettling idea, they sometimes even predict their own death date on the grave itself.

Halloween marks a spectacular time of the year to get a tombstone tattoo, but they are also highly requested during Day of the Dead parties.

As a final note, there is no reason to be limited to a single grave. We’ve assorted a whole cemetery’s worth of inspiration up ahead!
