- A secondary (but no less worthy) choice of Joker tattoo design for those who feel an authentic and original connection to the world’s streetwise, streetlife community.
The Joker has been around since medieval times
We will delve into the more modern depictions of the Joker shortly, but suffice to say that in one form or another Joker’s have been around in a variety of different forms for centuries.
They have been seen as medieval Jester’s, in packs of cards, as an all-important tarot card, and much more recently as the infamous, sworn enemy of Batman.
Down the years the Joker has been seen in a myriad of different guises and is seen as a free spirit, spontaneous, a risk taker, colourful, larger than life, witty, full of fun and wickedly evil.
This should tell you that however you wish to have your Joker tattoo shown is how it should be.

The Joker of Batman fame
Popular culture has quite rightly placed The Joker as one of the most iconic fictional characters ever created, but it was never originally intended to be that way.
The character was first introduced by DC Comics in 1940 and while it may be hard to believe now, the original intention was to kill him off after his initial appearance.
Thank goodness for editorial intervention!!
While the actor Cesar Romero portrayed The Joker during the 1960’s television series (and did so in style), the three actors most closely associated with him today are:
- Jack Nicholson – the Batman movie released in 1989.
- Heath Ledger – The Dark Knight released in 2008.
- The much more recent standalone movie – Joker – 2019 starring Joaquin Phoenix.
The latest version of the Joker has gained acclaim and controversy while smashing various box office records out of sight.
“Why so serious?” – Heath Ledger
Although the really classic look most older fans of Batman will recognize is the Jack Nicholson version, in the last decade the Heath Ledger’s image of The Joker has been the most popular.
This usually comes complete with that famous phrase he used so effectively “Why so serious?”.

Color, size, genre and placement of Joker tattoos
The flexibility of Joker tattoo designs means that they are suitable for both men and women.
We see men asking for larger, bolder designs while girls go for lighter, smaller depictions.
This is the joy of Joker tattoos – Whatever you want, the ALL DAY Tattoo studio will deliver.
Color
While the choice of color is yours, many opt for the most popular colors which are: White, Green and Red. Here’s the most common story behind those vivid shades.
The Joker fell into a tank of chemical waste which bleached his skin white, turned his hair green and his lips bright red. It is said that the resulting disfigurement drove him insane!
Tattoo designs of just the Joker’s face generally see the red from his lips spreading towards his cheeks (from both corners of the mouth) and his eyes outlined in black.
Those who go for the full body image will also include his purple suit and tie in the design.
Certainly not a design that will go unnoticed!
It is very easy to see why this color combination is a standout design for those who choose a Joker tattoo.
Size
Large or small, the choice really is yours.
Because of the Joker tattoos unique design, our professional ALL DAY Tattoo artists can really use their full artistic and creative skills.
This is because a Joker tattoo really does offer versatility.
The larger the tattoo, the greater the detail.
Guys tend to go for larger size tattoos with darker stronger colors and regularly include “Why so Serious?” in different written styles.
Girls on the other hand opt for smaller designs with light, vibrant coloration and less shading.
A perfect example of this is the fact that lots of women choose the tarot card joker design.
This design has a significant meaning.
In the world of fortune telling, the Joker tarot card has the number “0” and represents the unending cycles of life.
Genre
This is another benefit of the Joker tattoo.
It can be designed in just about any genre you choose.
Common ones the ALL DAY tattoo Team are asked for are:
- Portrait
- Comic book sketch
- Cartoon
- Watercolor
Placement
When it comes to placement you have a host of options.
If you are going for broke then a whole back tattoo looks superb.
Having said that, the most common areas for Joker tattoo placement are on the forearm, shoulder and legs while those looking for something more discreet often choose the wrist.
