A Guide to Realistic Skull Tattoos

Skull tattoos are extremely popular in the tattoo industry. A skull tattoo can symbolize death, afterlife, and rebellion while for others it can symbolize a celebration of life. Without death there is no life, and without life there is no death. 

Skull Tattoo Meaning and Design

When deciding to get a skull tattoo, think about the meaning and the type of design. The theme of skulls can vary from strength, to overcoming obstacles day by day, to darkness, to afterlife.  Once you have decided the meaning, I can add the proper elements and designs to portray the meaning you are desiring. As per the designs, there are a lot of styles that you can choose from. With Skulls, I prefer to do realism.  I like to portray the textures, the definition of contrast, color, and the depth of the holes such as the eyes, nose, mouth and jaw lines.
