If you are thinking that this is a weird subject for a tattoo design, you are going to be shocked at how many people go for this. First of all the difference between a graveyard and cemetery is that the graveyard is generally older and has a period look while the cemetery is more in keeping with modern times.
Thereby graveyards tend to have a neglected and Gothic feel to them as compared to the neater looking cemeteries. We will look at some tattoos based on both these subjects.
