50 Wonderful Witch Tattoos

Who's your favorite witch from popular culture?

Over the last 100 years, we’ve seen a lot of witches portrayed in popular culture. And let me tell you, these witches could not be more different. Some of these witches are classic, with their green skin and broom riding abilities. Others look entirely human up until they pull out a wand. Then there are the outliers, who fight alongside superheroes, battle the Night King or seduce Greek heroes on their island.

Take a look at 16 iconic witches depicted in popular culture in the gallery below and the tattoos that depict them. Then let us know your favorite witch from this list (or one that we didn’t mention) in the comments section on social media.

Circe

Debut: 8th-century BC (“Odyssey”)

Good or Bad: Bad

Iconic Quote: “Circe is an expert in drugs and potions. When she invites Odysseus to sleep with her, her language suggests that she sees sex as a kind of potion, a ‘magic work’ that involves mixing two ingredients. Her offer to ‘breed deep trust’ between her and Odysseus sounds like a promise, but it also carries a threat. It suggests that once they have slept together, Odysseus will ‘trust’ her whether or not he should.”
