Celebrity deaths are hard on all us; sometimes the only way to memorialize our most favorite of the famously passed on is to get their image permanently inked on our body—like a Patrick Swayze tattoo or other dead celebrity tribute tattoos.
There are some golden choices here for you to choose from—the Patrick Swayze tattoo where he is dressed as a Chippendale centaur is perhaps the most fitting tribute of the bunch. Also to be appreciated is the tattoo of Grateful Dead guitarist Jerry Garcia, complete with Grateful Dead style skull and train in the background. There is even one of TV painting legend Bob Ross. All in all, maybe not a good choice for your first tattoo, but a Dead Celebrity Tribute Tattoo makes a good second.
