Let these witch tattoos cast a magical spell on you

Witches have fascinated societies around the world for centuries. The idea of a women having magical power over others is a common theme in many folk tales, myths and legends. In the West, the image of a witch is usually of  an unmarried woman who lives on her own in the woods, where she brews magical potions and casts spells on any who wander into her domain. Here is a selection of the most beautiful, the cutest, the most dramatic and the most visually appealing tattoos:

Famous film witches become tattoo celebrities

Not only have witches appeared in many folk tales and books; they’ve also appeared in live film and animation. Walt Disney studios are responsible for many iconic witch characters that people love to hate. While the witch character is inevitably the baddie in these films, they are often relatable and even lovable because they epitomise the flaws that each of us can see in ourselves. While most movies about witches are watched by children, adults enjoy these famous characters too and some adults choose to get their favorite witch tattooed on their skin.

Good witch, bad witch. Good tattoo, bad tattoo

There are good witches and bad witches, and there are good tattoos and bad tattoos, but bad tattoos aren’t evil, whereas bad witches are.

Here is a collection of good witches and bad witches in tattoo art, which have been tattooed by artists of varying skill levels:
