Skull Tattoo Designs

Wednesday, July 22nd, 2009

Skull tattoo designs are extremely powerful and striking images to wear. The symbolism wrapped up in skull images is so wide and varied, they can mean doom and death, or a skull can symbolise survival from a near death experience. Or the skull as a religious symbol as it was used by the saints St. francis of Assisi and St. Jerome. Skulls can signify forgiveness, or can mean destruction and hateful vengeance. Whatever the intended meaning of the wearer, the skull is always linked to life and death. Which is one reason the skull tattoo is very popular as a tattoo design, because the skull image always evokes an emotional reaction in anyone who sees it, it is such a strong image related to our own mortality.
