The “original” zombie has come a long way. From White Zombie in 1932 (often considered the first zombie movie) to shows like The Walking Dead and movies like Shaun of the Dead and World War Z, zombies have been around in popular culture for almost 100 years.


Some popular zombie movies to get your tattoo ideas started include Dawn of the Dead, Day of the Dead, 28 Days Later, Zombieland, Zombieland Double-Tap, Planet Terror, Dead Snow, Shaun of the Dead, I am Legend, and The Return of the Living Dead, to name a few.


In tattoo form many people choose to get their zombies in a realistic style, with both black and grey or colour being popular.


American traditional or neo traditional is also a popular choice when getting the undead inked.


As with most spooky tattoos, some people go for “cute”, usually meaning a more new school or cartoon style, or neo traditional.
