If one were to count the number of Hannibal Lecter tattoos out there, in the world, you’d be surprised with the number. Too many! There are a lot of people fascinated with this iconic villain, as well as other characters in movies such as Pinhead in “Hellraiser,” Al Pacino blindingly dancing away in “Scent of a Woman,” and The Dude looking like his usual lazy self in “The Big Lebowski.” It is all about those entertaining and memorable film scenes that people want to immortalize on their bodies.
