Even nearly 30 years after its original premiere, The Nightmare Before Christmas is a movie that'll never get old. For the uninitiated, the Tim Burton-created dark fantasy film centres on Jack Skellington, the king of Halloweentown, who one day becomes stumbles across a parallel town dedicated to Christmas and becomes so enamoured with the holiday that he tries to get the residents of his hometown to celebrate it for the first time ever.

The movie itself is filled with odd artwork and a cast of characters so unusual that it's no wonder people are still obsessed with it — and use it as inspiration for a piece of body art. Yes, many have opted for The Nightmare Before Christmas-inspired tattoos, and even though the debate still stands on whether it's more of a Halloween or a Christmas movie, they're wildly popular among superfans of the former.

From portraits of Jack and Sally to even more stunning sketches of the film's supporting characters, read ahead to see a few Nightmare Before Christmas tattoos we're obsessed with.
