Skull and skull tattoos are a theme within the world of body art that has been present for many years, and that, far from having gone out of style or having become an old glory, has been modernized and adapted to the today, thus increasing its followers over the years. In our great gallery of tattoo images with skull and skull designs you will find amazing drawings and who knows?

These types of tattoos have a wide variety of symbolic meanings, depending, of course, on the use and style of the skull or skull. There are so many ways to represent skulls that they can be used to make references as varied as to show the power of a person or to emphasize how feminine and flirtatious that person is.
There are skull tattoos whose intention is to be terrifying, others that are drawn pretending to obtain as much realism as possible and others that are tattooed with feminine and almost caricature styles. Thus, skulls are such a universal symbol that they can be literally adapted to virtually any meaning, from religious to political, through the simple desire to show an artistic work.
In the past, tattoos of skulls and skulls suffered from a certain typecasting, being attributed in a rather generic way to marginal sectors of society of a large number of cultures from much of the world. For example, skull tattoos have been, and still remain, albeit to a lesser extent, directly related to people who are or have been in prison, or with members of gangs or certain street mafias.
Skulls, for a large number of people, can symbolize a reminder of mortality itself. Thus, a tattoo of a skull can serve as a permanent warning for a person that he must live life by squeezing it to the fullest until the end of his days. For other people, on the other hand, skulls represent their spiritual belief in life after death, in the afterlife, so much so, that skulls are represented for this purpose in the art and decorative pieces of many religions.
Skull and skull tattoo designs can be found in various shapes and sizes, often surprisingly attractive. After all, another reason why skull tattoos are so popular is because of their intrinsic drama that is expressed perfectly through art.

¿Qué opina una chica sobre estos diseños?
Son pocos los diseños a los que les doy un no rotundo, durante los últimos años hemos visto como se han utilizado las calaveras como motivos de decoración en moda. A pesar de ello y de que las calaveras se hayan impuesto en nuestras vidas y supongan un print más de adorno aún no consigo ver a muchas chicas con estos objetos tatuados en su cuerpo. No son mis preferidos porque no podemos olvidar que una calavera es una representación de la muerte y que no me gustan los tattoos que simbolizan esta temática. Me parecen estos diseños demasiado tétricos para llevarlos de por vida en nuestros cuerpos; prefiero las calaveras mejicanas, una bonita forma de recordar a los seres queridos que ya no están con nosotros y de rendirle homenaje. El colorido de estos tatuajes hace que se aleje del mundo tétrico y terrorífico que una calavera en sí aporta al diseño.
