Ink: The Best Walking Dead Tattoos

It’s time for Monday Ink! This week, we are focusing on the best The Walking Dead tattoos we could locate on the internet! Reminder, tattoos are permanent (we think people forget this), so it’s important to find the best artists who can create lasting, beautiful images. Whether it’s a walker, Rick, Daryl, or one of your other favorite characters, these images in black & gray or vibrant colors will inspire you to go out and new work done!

First up, @tregubov_tattoo has created a beautiful portrait of Rick (Andrew Lincoln) taking aim at someone. The black and gray shading of this tattoo is masterful!

This next one is not just any walker but it’s The Walking Dead’s executive producer and special effects genius, Greg Nicotero.  This Walking Dead tattoo is from @christianpinupbjerring

It’s possible that this next one is our favorite.  A dramatic image of Andrew Lincoln as Rick Grimes.  This one makes you feel the pain and struggle that Rick has endured on The Walking Dead.  The artist behind this piece is @cheyenne_tattooequipmt

This one is just awesome because how many times do you get to get a picture with the celebrity of who you have a tattoo of? This Jeffrey Dean Morgan / Negan tattoo comes to you by @bill_atkinson_tattoo with this image happening at Walker Stalker Con.
