33 Incredible Movie Inspired Tattoos

9. Sleeping Beauty (1959)

Artist: Matt Webb (@mattwebbtattoo) Angelina Jolie recently did a stellar job of playing the eponymous Disney villainess but Disney's animated Maleficent is still the more recognisable character. Matt Webb does an exceptional job of capturing the wry, unsettling smile of the evil fairy. The stained glass window in the background cleverly injects some colour into the otherwise dark piece.

8. The Shining (1980)

Artist: Kat Von D (@thekatvond) Kat Von D is the most well known tattooist on the planet and is a fully established celebrity across the Atlantic. This tattoo referring to Stanley Kubrick's The Shining proves that Kat is deserving of her celebrity status €“ the inconsistent execution of the script makes it actually look like its been scribbled in lipstick.

7. Gran Torino (2008)

Artist: Bob Tyrrell (@bobtyrrell) Another tattoo from Bob Tyrrell and another fabulous black and grey portrait. The detail of the ageing Walt Kowalski's many wrinkles is astounding, as is the way in which Tyrrell has captured the intensity of Clint Eastwood's character's glare.
