Skull Tattoo Photo #669
The human skull transcends cultures-appearing in biker patches, sugar skull celebrations, pirate flags, and vanitas paintings. Its meaning shifts from dark rebellion to colorful celebration depending on style and context.
Originating from centuries-old cultural practices, tribal designs carry symbolic weight through their patterns and placement. Modern tribal tattoos adapt these traditional motifs into contemporary compositions that honor the style's heritage.
The ribcage offers a private placement that only shows when the wearer chooses. Its curved surface adds dimension to designs, though the area is known for being one of the more sensitive spots to tattoo.
