Killer Clowns Tattoos Are a Creepy New Craze That We Absolutely Hate
Creepy clowns are totally a thing in the tattoo world right now. They're classic horror, they're iconic, and they downright scare the pants off some people.
You may make a few enemies with a tattoo like this
If you suffer from coulrophobia, you might have a hard time getting through this gallery, unless you’re also masochistic. There’s quite a few people among us who are deathly afraid of clowns, and some people love getting tattoos of frightening-looking clowns just to give those types of people the creeps. I don’t see what the big deal is; clowns just want to make you smile by doing a few tricks like making balloon animals, doing magic tricks, slashing the throats of scared teens in the middle of the night…. okay, maybe clowns are very scary.
