Whenever we think of the skull, it’s the obvious that comes into mind. Death, darkness, torture and horror films. And whenever we see skull tattoos on someone we may  even jump to conclusions at their state of mind, which is most likely that they like the idea of death and that may be even be suicidal. I am not joking I know at least half a dozen of people that will avoid talking to people with a scary skull tattoo.


Ok, so, it might just so happen that a hand full of people are indeed that way inclined and make that the reason for getting a skull tattoos, but mostly it’s not.

Skulls and skull tattoos can be interpreted in a number of ways, and a lot of them, are in fact positive associations, lets look at a few.

Skull Tattoos And Living Life To The Fullest!


A skull is a representation of something that no matter how hard you try escaping is inevitable- death. Many people get a tattoo of a skull to remind them that eventually they will die and that life is all about taking those chances, going through obstacles, and embracing risks. It serves to remind you to seize the day and live life king size! Steve jobs in this Stanford commencement speech said the following,

“Remembering that I'll be dead soon is the most important tool I've ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart”

One of my best friend, got a tattoo of a skull after hearing his speech and underneath inked the words ‘Hakuna Matata’ which is a Swahili word which translates into ‘no worries’. And above the skull ‘Carpe diam’ which as you probably know means ‘Seize the day’. She says her skull tattoo is always there to tell her that life is too short so you got to just go for it, waiting for tomorrow never works.

Skull Tattoos And The Eradication Of Fear

In Hinduism the skull is associated with the revered Goddess, Kali, she is  symbol of the power of destruction. She is always shown wearing a garland of skulls. She is the destroyer of things evil and a force which makes sure that only goodness triumphs.

She is fearless, does not yield to anything no matter how powerful the adversity. In this way, her devotes are granted the same fate. By worshiping Kali,  they are invariably eliminating fear from their souls and develop the power to destroy all that gets in the way of peace. So a skull tattoo can be seen to banish fear, transforming a weak soul into a warrior like spirit.

Sugar Skull Tattoos


In Mexico, November the 1st and the 2nd, Mexicans celebrate the occasion of ‘The Day of the Dead’. Instead of morning the people that have passed on, they celebrate their time on earth, they are revered, shown respect and honored. Skulls are vibrantly decorated with bright flowers, sugar and white chocolate and they are fittingly known as Sugar Skull Tattoos.

Skull Tattoos On Victory And Rebellion


Pirates are known to have the flown the Jolly roger across the seven seas which has a picture of a skull with cross bones.  Skull tattoos in this regard represent triumph and rebellion. These anarchists have flown this flag in the face of governmental rule and organized authority. The jolly roger also represents victory as the Jolly Roger is hoisted when the  pirate ships are engaged in combat and when they have defeated the enemy. Taking inspiration from pirates your skull tattoo can mean that victory will be yours even in you choose to life your life in an unconventional way.
