Skull Tattoos

The skull tattoo is an emerging type of tattoo nowadays. While in the past older people chose skulls as body decoration, today rather the younger generation is eager to get a skull or skeleton tattoo.

Skulls have been involved in many religious activities, and in this way they can reflect religion as well as culture. In many religious countries, skulls are seen as a sign of victory, purity, or eternity (like in Mexico).

In some cultures though, skeletons have long been associated with death: the grim reaper depicts death itself that comes after everyone sooner or later; in Medieval times skeletons on stained glass windows were meant to remind people of their mortality.
