By Adrienne Hartsook


Skull tattoo designs arise from the skull tattooing traditions of many religions. They symbolize eternal life or the human remains left behind after its soul leaves for the Christian religion. On another light, they represent rebirth or an uplifting after the recognition of the death of a loved on for the Kabbalah religion.

Skull tattoo designs represent triumph and rebellion, in their traditional sense. They were used by pirates both on their flags as well as their tattoos. Power, strength, protection or a significant life change are some of the other symbolisms of skull tattoo designs.

When a couple wants to wear matching tattoos with a skull preference, the men normally don tattoos with skull tattoo designs or sugar skull tattoos while the women opt for girly skull tattoo designs.

There is always the chance that these tattoos will be open to misinterpretation by other people viewing them. This is regardless of the meaning of the skull tattoo designs to its wearer. To avoid such misinterpretations, there is no recourse for a wearer to take other than the explanation of what these skull tattoo designs mean to him time and again to each and every curious observer of his tattoo.

They are not just tattooed on them in order to appear tough or to appear funny. In this article, we will be looking at the several variations of skull tattoo designs and the symbolism attached to them.

The very plain skull tat is originally an old school art. It was even once an insignia for groups like bikers, prisoners or gang members during the early days. However, as body art evolves, modifications and alterations for skull tattoo also came into play. Originally, its image was scary but now you can find humorous ones as well as whimsical and colourful styles.

Skull tattoo designs that incorporate roses, denote the contrast between life and death or the conflict between beauty and decay. Reminders to the wearers of the contrast between good and evil as well as the balancing of life philosophies, skull tattoo designs that include roses become a symbol of duality.
