The Best Stickers for Guitar Cases and Skateboards (That Actually Look Good)
The Best Stickers for Guitar Cases and Skateboards (That Actually Look Good)

A guitar case without stickers is just a box. A skateboard without stickers is just a plank. The right stickers turn them into a statement, a visual shorthand for who you are, what you listen to, what you're about. The wrong stickers make it look like you grabbed a handful of whatever was nearest at the checkout. There's a difference, and anyone who's spent real time in music or skate culture can spot it immediately.
This post is about the right stickers. Every design here comes from the Haunted Emporium, an art shop on Redbubble dedicated to original dark art for people who live outside the mainstream. Bold, weird, creepy, psychedelic, and built for surfaces that take a beating and look better for it.
Here's what belongs on your gear.
1. Crazy Ram - The One That Commands the Whole Case
Every guitar case needs an anchor piece, one sticker so visually striking that everything else orbits it. The Crazy Ram is that sticker.
A ram skull rendered in full psychedelic glory: massive spiral horns sweeping wide in swirling yellow, hot pink, and electric teal, the skull face a riot of blue, purple, and acid green, every surface painted with the kind of color that seems to shift depending on where the light hits. The white sticker outline is clean and precise. The whole composition is simultaneously chaotic and perfectly balanced, the visual equivalent of a guitar solo that should fall apart but doesn't.
This one is large, bold, and impossible to ignore. It reads immediately from across a room, which is exactly what an anchor sticker needs to do. Put it center-case on a black or natural wood finish and build everything else around it. For players who love psychedelic rock, heavy metal, or any genre that involves extended instrumental passages and strong feelings, this is the one.
Also great on: Skateboard deck (center graphic), amp head, laptops

2. Hell Hound - The One That Means Business
The Hell Hound is a flat black wolf face rendered in bold linocut-style, red inner ears, red eyes with cat-slit pupils, jaw slightly open, fangs just visible. The design reads as pure, concentrated threat without a single wasted line. Set against deep red, the black silhouette has real visual weight. The style is somewhere between tattoo flash and vintage band patch, which means it belongs on a guitar case the same way those things do, immediately, naturally, like it was always going to be there.
Wolves in music are a recurring motif for good reason. They represent exactly what a lot of guitar players want their instrument to communicate: power, danger, wildness operating just inside the threshold of control. The Hell Hound captures all of that in a design that's clean enough to age well and bold enough to hold its own next to busier stickers.
Also great on: Skateboard deck, amps, bass case

3. Graffiti Demon - Maximum Chaos, Perfectly Contained
If a sticker could be loud, this one would be playing at venues that don't have a sound limiter.
The Graffiti Demon is a round red monster, horns up, yellow eyes bulging with unhinged joy, mouth stretched into a grin so wide it's basically architectural, teeth jagged and plentiful. The body drips like fresh paint or something worse. Bold black linework. Thick white sticker outline. Pure cartoon chaos committed to the bit completely.
This design has the DNA of underground skateboard art, underground zine culture, graffiti murals, and the kind of sticker you'd find on a pole outside a venue that closed down a decade ago and is still legendary. It belongs on anything that has moved fast, taken damage, and come out the other side still functioning. Guitar cases that have been on tour. Skateboard decks that have seen concrete. Helmets with a story.
Also great on: Helmet, skateboard deck, amps

4. Melting Smiley Face - The Psychedelic Wild Card
Every great sticker collection needs a wildcard, the one that surprises people, that doesn't fit the obvious pattern, that shows range. The Melting Smiley Face is that sticker.
A classic yellow smiley face, but melting, iridescent, its surface a shifting oil-slick of yellow, orange, pink, and rainbow that looks like it's been through something metaphysical and came out smiling anyway. The drips at the bottom are multicolored and precise. The eye sockets and smile are slightly uncanny in their blankness, just wide enough to register as off-key.
This design carries the visual language of rave culture, psychedelic rock, acid house, and the specific energy of someone who has thought deeply about happiness and arrived at complicated conclusions. On a guitar case it reads as taste. On a skateboard it reads as personality.
Pairs naturally with the Crazy Ram for a full psychedelic section of your case, or stands alone as the unexpected design in an otherwise dark setup.
Also great on: Skateboard deck, phone case, laptop, helmets

5. Metal Head Demon - For the Player Who Takes Their Tone Seriously
The Metal Head Demon is an armoured demon face of real visual ambition, layered grey-blue scales and spines forming the structure of the face, glowing orange eyes burning from deep within, ornate horns curving upward, the jaw filled with broad uneven teeth lit from below by the same fiery glow. The rendering is detailed and precise, the palette dark steel and molten orange, the overall effect something between a boss character from a very good video game and the cover art of an album that changed your life when you were 17.
It belongs on the case of someone who knows what they're playing, why they're playing it, and is not interested in explaining either. Goes especially hard on a black or dark brown leather case where the orange glow becomes the only warm thing in the frame.
Also great on: Guitar straps, amp head, phone case, laptops
6. Punk Rock Skull - The Classic That Never Gets Old
There are certain images that belong on guitar cases the way certain chords belong in songs. The Punk Rock Skull is one of them.
Neon yellow-green skull in side profile, mohawk blazing upward like a two-tone flame, a thick chain running from temple to cheek, a hoop earring at the jaw, the linework detailed and expressive, the white sticker outline crisp. The skull has been in the pit, survived, and has strong opinions about what happened there.
What separates this from the thousands of generic punk skulls that exist is the specificity of the execution, the mohawk has texture and movement, the chain and earring are rendered with care, the side-profile composition gives it a silhouette quality that reads clearly at any size. This is not a Halloween costume skull. This is a skull that has seen things and is not impressed by whatever you're about to say.
Essential for punk, post-punk, hardcore, and any player who learned their first chord from a three-chord band and never looked back. Also works on skateboard decks!

7. Goblin Grimace - The Neon Oni That Stops Traffic
If your sticker collection needs something that makes people stop walking and ask questions, the Goblin Grimace is your answer.
A Hannya-style oni demon mask rendered in a palette so neon it practically emits its own light, pink horns, teal and blue linework, yellow glowing eyes, the whole face structured in the ornate, symmetrical tradition of Japanese demon mask art but filtered through a color sensibility that owes more to blacklight posters and festival culture than any particular tradition.
Oni imagery has deep roots in Japanese rock, metal, and street culture, it's been appearing on guitars, skateboards, jackets, and instruments for decades, which means it reads as both culturally significant and visually striking to anyone who recognizes it. To anyone who doesn't, it reads as the most interesting sticker in the room, which is also a fine outcome.
Works beautifully as a focal point on a natural wood skateboard deck, where the neon palette has room to breathe against a warmer background, or as a centerpiece on a dark guitar case where it creates its own light source.
Also great on: Skateboard deck, phone case, helmet, amps
8. Demonic Pomeranian - The One That Makes Everyone Laugh Then Look Twice
Every sticker collection needs one that makes people laugh before they realize it's also kind of terrifying. The Demonic Pomeranian is precisely that.
A Pomeranian, fluffy, orange, theoretically adorable, has bat wings erupting from its shoulders, red eyes blazing with infernal purpose, a mouth open wide to reveal rows of teal fangs with a generous strand of drool connecting jaw to tongue. It is running toward something or away from something or possibly both. The linework is polished and expressive, the colours warm and slightly neon.
This design operates in the specific intersection of horror and humor that the internet has made into a genuine art form, the cute thing that is also deeply wrong, the innocent image corrupted just enough to be fascinating. On a guitar case it's the sticker that makes someone stop mid-sentence. On a skateboard it's the one everyone photographs. It also makes an exceptional ice breaker, a reliable conversation starter, and a gift for literally anyone who has ever owned a small dog and suspected something.
Also great on: Phone case, laptop, tote bags

How to Build Your Sticker Setup
Whether you're covering a guitar case, a skateboard deck, or both, the same principles apply.
Start with an anchor. One large, visually dominant design that sets the tone for everything else, the Crazy Ram, Goblin Grimace, or Metal Head Demon are natural anchors. Everything else supports or contrasts with it.
Build in contrast. Mix detailed and simple, loud and graphic, dark and neon. The Hellhound next to the Graffiti Demon. The Punk Rock Skull next to the Demonic Cupid. Contrast is what makes a collection feel curated rather than random.
Leave negative space. The instinct is to cover everything. Resist it. Stickers on a half-covered surface have more visual impact than stickers fighting for space on a fully covered one.
Don't overthink the story. The best sticker collections aren't designed, they accumulate. Start with the two or three designs that feel most right for where you are right now, and let the rest follow.
All Haunted Emporium stickers are kiss-cut vinyl, water-resistant, and built to last on surfaces that take real use.
