The Grim Reaper: Death and Defiance in Tattoo Flash

Death has always had a place in tattooing — not just as something to fear, but as something to understand, face, and even laugh at. From plague art and Percy Waters catalogs to carnival flash and modern revivalists, the Grim Reaper has been haunting tattoo walls for nearly a century. This episode explores how death imagery moved from memento mori art into tattoo flash, what it meant to sailors, soldiers, and outlaws, and why it still resonates with collectors today. I’ll also share a few of my own reaper tattoos — examples of how this symbol keeps evolving, from serious to humorous, from the flash wall to living skin.
