Skull Designs Are Popular Among Tribal Tattoos

Though always a popular design amongst enthusiasts, the

popularity of skull tattoos has risen.

Prior to this rise in fame, the symbolism was highly

misunderstood as being something profoundly dark, sinister and

rebellious. However, there are many positive connotations to be

had from this design.

The skull is often seen less as a signifier of death, and

more as a signifier of life. Or, rather, the understanding and

acceptance of all things that come with living — even death.

course, some negative ones as well. However, some people choose

to use these designs as a symbol of toughness or endurance.

One of the most recognizable symbols is the skull and

crossbones.

This symbol is often used to indicate poisonous material.

Skull designs have also long been a symbol for bikers and

pirates. Biker tattoos usually depict a skull that is flaming,

covered in barbed wire, or with red eyes.

They may also show a snake coiling in one eye socket and out of

the other.

Though this symbol can seem tough, it may also be seen in a

positive light. For instance, in some cultures the snake is seen

as a sign of knowledge, thus indicating that the knowledge and

understanding of death may indicate power.

Pirate skull tattoos, though, are often very clear about their

meaning.

They usually represent everything to do with pirate culture;

a crossbones style skull with blades instead of bones, a pirate

hat and a menacing stare, are all quite common.

Some people also like to balance out the ominous appearance with

something a little lighter.

For instance, flowers growing around or in the eye sockets of a

skull shows a balance of light and dark, life and death.

Skull tattoos may also have significance for those in the

medical field, or those who have suffered and survived accident

or illness.

These tattoos may include many features that or important to the

wearer and are often very realistic in appearance.

There are many reason to get a skull tattoo, but weather it is a

symbol of life or a symbol of death, you will be certain to

create a stir with this popular and misunderstood design
