This is a fanciful depiction of death, and while it’s not exactly a grim reaper tattoo it does capture the essence of foreboding with a clear sense of doom and darkness. Overall, a great work of art and a very stylized and a different reaper tattoo that beckons for attention and will withstand the sands of time until death seeks out the wearer to take that final journey.

This grim reaper tattoo also includes a delicately lined hourglass, it’s chain wrapped around the handle of the scythe, reminding us that time is death and life is slowly ticking away for us all. Highly detailed and with ultra fine line work, this grim reaper tattoo is well placed on the chest and embodies death in unique style with great features and shading on the skull, a seriously rippled cape to the point to where it looks like webbing, and a totally gnarly scythe made up of what appears to be a mix of metal and bone, its design adding a one of a kind feel to the piece. I really like the composition of this piece, and with excellent lining and fine detail work on the arm and skull, death is brought to life in a crazy dreams-cape ready to take souls and keep the balance between dark and light forevermore on pale flesh canvas.Ģ6. Unique, Highly Detailed Grim Reaper Tattoo This is an interesting depiction of the reaper with his cape breaking up and trailing off into the shadows, his shoulder a mix of bone and skulls, and his arm a bio mechanical web of wire, mesh and tentacles curving and morphing into the handle of his scythe. Death stands in a frame like a painted portrait surrounded by the life he will one day come to take. Traditional in style and with a look that reads tarot card, this grim reaper tattoo stands out in bold perspective, the colors bright and wild from the fiery red background to the spring greens morphing into black and the delicate pink flowers in the foreground, it is one crystal clear piece inked smoothly and with care. As it’s on the hand this tattoo will break up over time, but nevertheless it’s a great piece representing death in fine form. This is a really nice composition with reaper looking down, skull and hood in a bow, and cape well shaded at the top with folds lined perfectly in the right places, and gradually getting darker as it trails off onto the fingers. This is a cool, abstract grim reaper tattoo, well placed on the hand with excellent line work and great use of ink and skin to carefully make up hooded figure with scythe in tow on the back of the hand.

A valiant tattoo that screams death is coming and stands out on skin in intrepid perspective. This depiction of death means business with scythe in mid swing and a humanoid face rather than the traditional skull and bones, which gives a creepy, menacing feel to the whole piece, added to by the glowing red color injection that compliments this deathly figure perfectly. Overall a great piece signifying that death is coming for us all one day, a notion that nobody can escape and that death is a part of life, and this art work will be with wearer until they too meet the reaper.Ī cool reaper tattoo in bold black and blood red with great shadowing and lovely highlights across the top of the cloak and on to the impressively long scythe.

This traditional style tattoo depicting the grim reaper is bold and beautiful featuring death cloaked in black with perfect bright highlighting and great saturated red accents on the inner lining of the robe and the eye sockets of the skull. The concept of this particular tattoo is an awesome, bold and haunting representation of the grim reaper who, in some mythologies, actually causes the death of those it come for, and perhaps all the souls in this piece represent those who have tried to hold onto life by avoiding Death’s visit, or those who have tried to bribe or bargain with death. Some grim reaper tattoos are made up of souls in the form of twisted faces that make up the cloak and body of the reaper, as well as faces and partial skeletons acting as a gorgeous, blue, macabre background for this warrior of death.
