Small Skull Tattoo FAQs

What do small skull tattoos symbolize?

Skull tattoos invariably represent death, decay, and the inexorable passing of time – but can also examine the duality and intertwining of life and death.

In outlaw culture the skull is a symbol of alienation and rebellion, a totem for those outside and on the fringes.

What are some spiritual symbols linked to skulls?

Skulls have been recognized as vital, imposing symbols since the beginning of history. Ancient Mayan ceremonies featured elaborate crystals skulls imbued with mystical powers, and ages-old Native American rituals used the skulls of humans and animals in righteous ceremonial dances.

Ancient Hindu art beautifully illustrates an incarnation of Shiva with a necklace made of skulls. Instead of death, the skulls represent time itself, and the immortal God Shiva outlasting the short lives of the mere mortals he encounters.

What are Calavera or sugar skull tattoos?

A Calavera is an artistic representation of a human skull used in the Mexican celebration of the Day of the Dead and the Roman Catholic holiday All Souls’ Day.

The term is most often applied to edible or decorative skulls made from sugar, clay, or plaster, however they’re also a prominent choice in tattoo art.

Female versions of the Calavera skull tattoo are known as La Catrina.
