Reaper Tattoo Ideas
The Grim Reaper is a fabled character that ushers the dead into the afterlife. His exact origin is unknown, but some form of the Reaper appears in many ancient civilizations. The Grim Reaper of modern history is usually depicted with a skeletal face under a long, hooded black cape and carrying a handled sickle. Tattoos depicting the Reaper are a reminder that life is short, and this symbol of death will be on everyone's doorstep someday.
Reaper on a Motorcycle
Create the Reaper riding a motorcycle for your tattoo. The Reaper's long black robe stretches out behind him in the wind as he rides through life. Motorcycle enthusiasts often select this tattoo. The Reaper holds his long, black sickle overhead like a sword in battle. Print your favorite saying about life in the wind behind the motorcycle.
Ushering Reaper
The Reaper's job is to usher the souls of the recently dead into the afterlife. Design the Reaper moving into a beautiful sunset for a tattoo. Depict the Reaper as a silhouette from behind walking towards the horizon. Next to the Reaper, create the silhouette of a man or a woman with one hand on the Reaper's sickle. This will convey the beauty of the afterlife. Tattoo the words "Have No Fear of Death" underneath the ushering Reaper.
Hockey Reaper
Use the image of the Reaper to show off your love of hockey, tattooing the Reaper holding a hockey stick instead of his sickle. Cover the Reaper's face with a hockey mask, with his big black hood surrounding it. The tattoo artist may incorporate some of the hockey uniform into the tattooed Reaper, including displaying him on skates.
Whimsical Reaper
Create a whimsical Reaper tattoo using one of your favorite fictional or cartoon characters. Incorporate an object associated with your character in place of the Reaper's sickle. Bugs Bunny holding a carrot or Bart Simpson with his signature candy bar are just two of the endless tattoos you can modify into a Reaper. Display your playful personality with a Reaper from the lighter side.
