Skull tattoo designs are extremely powerful and striking images to wear. The symbolism of a skull in a tattoo is strong and varies immensely, from meaning death and doom, to being a symbol of victory over death. Extremely religious monks like St Francis of Assisi have used the skull as a symbol of their faith and order. A skull can often be meant to symbolise vengeance and destruction, but it can also symbolise forgiveness. Skulls will also be closely associated with life and death, whatever extra meaning the tattoo’s wearer wishes it to have. It’s simply a very powerful image to have in a tattoo, because the image of a skull is so strongly associated with life and death no one who sees a skull tattoo can ignore it – it’s a powerful image.
People who choose skull tattoos can be sure that they are making a powerful statement and the message they wish to state wil not be ignored.
Skulls feature prominently in many stories from fiction and history. Such as Hitler’s SS men, or more commonly the Jolly Roger, or rock bands and alternative heavy metal. The skull gives out a powerful message, so be careful that you don;t give outthe wrong one. All sorts of groups from secret societies to Hell’s Angel bikers use skulls in their symbols and ‘logos’. Ironically the skull is used by all people, right from the most conservative imaginable – Christian monks – to the most alternative and rebellious – metal bands, pirates and biker gangs.

You can design your own skull tattoo design in so many different ways that you really are not limited in any way. If you are looking for a skull tattoo design that is totally unique to yourself, you should be able to create one with ease. The scope for character and emotion on a skull’s face is wide – you can depict them with malice and personality, happy or sad, benevolent or wrathful.
You are not only limited to the usual human skulls in tattoo design. You could opt for a bull skull, or a bear or a dragon. Vampire or demon skulls are also very popular. Of course, joker skulls and jester skulls are very popular, as any skull is naturally grinning and seems to be mocking life.
