Skull Tattoo - The Real Meaning Behind Its Symbol

Skull is one of the most popular tattoo designs. It serves a number of symbolic purposes. The most common is death and mortality. But in many aspects, one can use the image of a skull to implicate various things.

Skull can be a symbol of protection, strength and power. For some people who already experienced danger, it can be a symbol of overcoming death, danger or a tough time. For those people who overcome trials, it can be a symbol for a past life, now changed, never to revert. Skulls can also be a reminder of death and bad behavior. In history, it is a symbol of victory over the enemy and a warning to the people defeated in battle. Skull is an obvious declaration of triumph.
