Skull Tattoos: When it comes to evil, the very first thing that comes to our mind is a scary skull! The eerie effect of skull starts right from the biology class, when you see the whole skeleton for the first time! Depicting a skull tattoo as evil is not at all difficult. Even if you show the classic skull with crossbones, it will be regarded as evil. You can however use many other designs for your skull tattoos for girls. One of the popular tattoo design is the tribal skull tattoo design. You do not need to beautify this design as the broad strokes of the tribal tattoo are enough. For simple skull tattoo designs, you can add fire in the background. You can also personalize your skull tattoo by adding your name around the tattoo! Mexican skull tattoos are also quite popular, there are many designs available in a Mexican skull tattoo.

Grim Reaper: I am sure grim reapers must have haunted your dreams as kids! Grim reaper is one of the most scary evil tattoos for men, which is why it is also one of the most popular tattoos.

Just add a black shadowy background to your grim tattoo and you are done. However you can add elements like skull and crossbones to your grim reaper tattoo to make it more scary.

Vampire Evil Tattoos: With so many vampire movies around, vampire tattoos are the hot favorite, especially of teenagers! Though you are likely in love with a vampire, you must surely be aware of the the fact that vampires are 'evil', so you need to depict a vampire in that way in your good and evil tattoo. You can either depict an entire vampire with its famous teeth or only show the vampire bite. Vampire bite is nothing but two red dots, which seem to ooze blood. The design will depend on the location, if you are thinking of an entire vampire with its black robe and all, you will need to get it on your back or arm.
