Christmas is the celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ. In Christianity, Easter is a celebration of Jesus ascending to heaven, a ‘rebirth’ of sorts. The most recognizable Christmas character is Santa Claus, a jolly fat man in a red suit. Easter is often represented by a rabbit, called the Easter Bunny. In this funny tattoo, Jesus is shown with Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny.

A Calvin and Hobbes Christmas Tattoo

Bill Watterson’s famous comic strip, Calvin and Hobbes, has inspired a wealth of fan art tattoos.

Zombie Jesus Christmas Tattoo

This tattoo takes a little deciphering to fully understand its meaning. As far as this author can tell, this is a depiction of Jesus as a zombie (he did, in a way, rise from the dead at Easter). The zombie doll character has its arms outspread in a similar pose to that of Jesus on the cross, and through the palms of its hands are nails, in a parody of the crucifixion of Christ. The lightbulb is, uh, well, it probably seemed like a good idea at the time.

The modern Santa Claus image was first introduced in 1863 by world-renowned cartoonist and caricaturist, Thomas Nast. His artist’s sketch showed a rosy cheeked old man, puffing on a tobacco pipe while holding an armful of toys. This image became so popular that it was adopted by Christian societies around the world. Shown below is Thomas Nast’s original Santa Claus design, which was published in the Christmas edition of Harper’s Weekly in 1863, alongside a graffiti art version of the original design.

Evil Santa Claus Graffiti

For every “good” or “cute” character, there is an art movement to create evil versions of the character (see The Dark Side of Hello Kitty for evil versions of Hello Kitty). The Santa Claus doppelgangers shown below explore a dark, evil side of Santa that is not suggested by popular media. This is the kind of evil Santa who might give Creepy Christmas Gifts to naughty children.
