The concept of the undead (also known as zombies) has been around as long as the late 1600s. The risen dead were considered to be more like tactile ghosts or specters, not necessarily cannibalistic fiends. They did however develop a taste for human brains when they arrived on the film scene around the same time as other popular monster tropes such as Frankenstein and Dracula. The silent film White Zombie (1932) was the first of its kind, and was followed by a small pocket of other films of the genre. The zombie craze, however, took off in 1968 with the release of George Romero’s Night of the Living Dead. Fast forward to the successful Walking Dead graphic novel and subsequent AMC series and wave of spinoff shows, and it seems as if nothing can kill off the popularity of zombie culture. And that is exactly what has come of it – a culture. As a restful, zombie tattoos have become quite the “trend” although core enthusiasts will never refer to it as such. Semantics aside, we’re here to answer your call for a tattooist who can exceed your expectations for a zombie tattoo. If you live in the Greater Vancouver BC area you’ve walked into (with a zombie limp we presume) the right tattoo shop. Read ahead to learn more, if you dare.
