Day of the Dead

Get ready to fiesta with our Day of the Dead tattoos!

Día de los Muertos, or Day of the Dead translated in English, is a holiday celebrated throughout Mexico and Latin America to commemorate loved ones.

This special holiday is filled with family and laughter while honoring and remembering those who have passed away. While this holiday may sound spooky, it actually is a joyful celebration filled with food and music. Many dress up as a skeleton while combining this look with Mexican traditions, such as wearing a vibrant dress or with a mariachi uniform. Our large variety of Day of the Dead temporary tattoos make dressing up as a skeleton easy without having the hassle of make-up or making a mess with face paint.

A common misconception about Day of the Dead is that this holiday is related to Halloween. While both holidays incorporate skeletons and skulls, the two are celebrated separately. Those who celebrate Day of the Dead believe that the spirits of our loved ones return to the world of the living for one day during the year. While this holiday is widely celebrated on November 2^nd, it actually begins on October 31^st. Babies and children who have passed are referred to as angelitos (“little angels”) and are thought to return to their families on Oct. 31^st.

The following day, adults whom have passed return to this world, and thus ending the festivities on November 2^nd. Be sure to include our Blue Jewel Skulls Temporary Tattoo for everyone to share, kids and adults alike!
