Skull Tattoo DesignsGrim Reaper
What does the grim reaper convey to you? It is not associated with Satan as some believe, nor does it represent simple death. These hooded skull tattoo designs are a reminder from medieval times that life is infinite and it suggests that there is life after death.
Skull And Crossbones
This design is known universally as the sign for poison and is seen on household cleaners and other substances. The image is white placed upon a black flag. This design has other meanings as well, depending on the views of its recipient.
Men choose it for its representation of masculinity and the stigma surrounding it, while others choose this design to mean change, such as those recovering from addictions who wish to remind themselves of where they have been and the changes they have undergone in life.
Bull And Dear
These skull tattoo designs are often associated with western areas or tribal art. An avid hunter may choose a dear and a set of trophy horns to display. A bull skull is often displayed in a dessert scene along with predatory birds such as the vulture. Add a few cactus and one is reminded of our beautiful state Arizona.
Sugar Skull
This type of design is used as a memoriam to honor a loved one who has passed on. A name is engraved and the colors are richly blended together. It can also be construed as a symbol of life. Often you will see flowers in the mix with a sugar skull design.
