A lot of people like skull tattoo designs. I have to admit, they are growing on my too.
I used to think they were quite morbid but now I see them as more than that. We cannot deny death. We cannot deny what is below the skin. There's something primitive about a skull design so who knows?
I like the general idea of this tattoo, combining a skull with a tribal design. Actually, I'm not a big fan of tribal tattoos but this combination is pretty cool.
This is quite an interesting design, it's known as a sugar skull tattoo. I have to admit, I've never heard of this but it looks cool. What I like about it is that it is more colourful and less morbid. But you don't get the cool black and white shading from a more traditional skull tat.
Apparently a sugar skull is a kind of candy that is used in Mexico during some kind of celebration. Well, I never knew that, but from an aesthetic point of view, it's pretty cool, despite my having no connection to that particular culture.
