You Won’t Want to Make These ‘Home Alone’ Tattoos Disappear

… but your family might think different about your choice of a Home Alone tattoo and wish it to disappear like Kevin (thought he) did to his family.

For two such beloved Christmas movies, it’s odd that there are so few Home Alone and Home Alone 2: Lost in New York themed tattoos in existence.

If you’re like me and you’ve seen the classic John Hughes films many times, then you’re aware of how creative Kevin McCallister was with his weapons and booby traps to defend himself and his home from the “Wet Bandits”, Harry and Marv. When it comes to your tattoo, be like Kevin.

A Home Alone tattoo doesn’t automatically have to be a portrait of Kevin [Macaulay Culkin] or anything too obvious. Re-watch the films and pay close attention to every detail and see what catches your eye or sparks your creativity. It could be a visual element accompanied by a quote or even a quote from the film within the film. Choose something to represent a favourite character, a booby trap, or one scene of the film that you always look forward to most.

Choose your artist wisely to avoid looking and feeling like Harry and Marv after a night spent attempting to capture Kevin, and most definitely don’t think about stealing because, just like the Wet and Sticky Bandits, you’ll be caught by the (tattoo) police.

For an even more obscure Home Alone tattoo, consider one of the four other theatrical and television films in the franchise. For me, nothing tops the first two, but which of the six films is your favourite?
