1979 in Tattoos

From funerals and nightmares of the Tall Man to Strawberry Shortcake and her friends with tasty food names, here’s 1979 in tattoos.

The first film in the Phantasm franchise was released in 1979.

Ridley Scott’s Alien burst onto cinema screens in 1979 and introduced us to the Xenomorph. The chestburster scene is one of my all-time favourite scenes from any film.
