If there's one supernatural creature that consistently captures the imagination (and eternal devotion) of mere mortals, it's the vampire. From books to movies to TV, we humans just can't get enough of the terrifyingly toothsome creatures — and these incredible vampire tattoos prove it!
Check out our slideshow of undead ink for a little virtual vampire voyeur action, and who knows? Maybe you'll be inspired to go under the (tattoo) gun yourself!

Bride of Dracula
Fans of the 1992 film Bram Stoker's Dracula will immediately recognize this as Lucy (post-transformation). Hats off to this tattoo artist for getting the details right!
Monsters, Inc.
A comprehensive homage to all things horror, these tats give other classic monsters their due, too. (Because Dracula needs some buddies to hang out with, of course!)
Immortal Tears
Apparently not all vampires cry tears of blood! Why so sad, pretty undead lady?

Have a Nice Day?
This one gives new meaning to the phrase "put on a happy face." (It's also pretty adorable.)
Wing It
Apparently the vampire-to-bat transformation isn't always a full one. (Also, from the hair, we're guessing this vampire was made around 1982.)
Hey, Bulldog!
We can only hope this dog is named "Fang," because that would be really, really appropriate. Who knew something could be so cute and so scary at the same time?

Vampire Kryptonite
If vampires are so tough, how come a little splinter through the heart is all it takes to end their not-so-eternal lives?
Double Fantasy
This is definitely somebody's sexytime vampire fantasy (probably a lot of people's sexytime vampire fantasy, actually).
Lick It Up
Even vampires get manicures and wear eye makeup, didn't you know?

Mark of the Damned
Of all the vampire tattoos in all the world, this is definitely one of the most clever. (And, um, permanent. Marked for life, indeed!)
It's Not Easy Being Green
Is this vampire lady in the throes of ecstasy or agony? Or is she simply turning green with human envy? Hard to say.
Lady in Red
"Lady in red/Is dancing with me/Cheek to cheek." Except, this is no mere dance … lady, look out!!

The Ugly Truth
Hey, being a vampire ain't always pretty (despite what shows like True Blood would have you believe). We'd hate to stare this set of chompers in the face!
Classic Vamp
Slicked back hair, bats, blonde damsel in distress: This is what we call a classic vampire scene!
Bite Me
Okay, this is actually a super clever vampire tattoo, too. Tattoo too!! (Say that out loud, it's fun.)

Forever Kiefer
It's safe to say this guy is a fan of The Lost Boys (and why wouldn't he be?!). I just hope he runs into Kiefer Sutherland someday so he can show off his undying loyalty. (Get it? Undying??)
Throwing Shade(s)
Why was Gary Oldman the coolest Dracula ever? Cause he wore sunglasses, of course.
Vlad is Rad
This is how a vampire tattoo goes old school: By giving props to the original bloodsucker, Vlad the Impaler.

No, No, Nosferatu!
Vampires tend to fall into two camps: Scary or sexy. This one definitely qualifies as the former (unless you're REALLY kinky).
Gorey Story
An amazing representation of a classic illustration by macabre mastermind Edward Gorey for the win!
