There's just a little over a week left to go until the anticipated night of Halloween, and if you're anything like me, you might be scrambling to put together an amazing costume. There's no need to fret, however, because there are tons of ideas that only require DIY makeup skills — no costume needed. While some might be going all out and creating their own, elaborate costumes from head to toe, you might fall into the category of Halloween-goers that believe in the "less is more" philosophy. Be it a snapchat filter or your favorite literary character, whatever you want to be this year, it'll be as simple as adding a few Halloween stitches to your forehead.
If you don't have anything in particular that you want to be this year, then you might as well simply embrace the Halloween spirit! Whether it's a spider web or a Jack-O-Lantern, or even just a bat, you can put some DIY Halloween tattoos on yourself to get into the spirit, and you can make it as spooky as you want!
With endless possibilities, you might not know exactly where to start. Luckily for you, I've rounded up some of the best DIY Halloween tattoos to get you started on your very own tattooing adventures.
