The true meaning of a skull tattoo design

There is actually a more in-depth meaning to the skull tattoo designs than just anger, fear, danger and death -  in fact it was not originally conceived as a symbol to represent any of these things.  It was instead originally used to represent the symbol of  “great change” and “celebration of a great life”.  In analyzing what the skull traditionally meant in ancient society we discover that it was related to the happening of great changes and an acceptance and embrace of  our mortality “embracing the new”.  It is highly probable that its association with death grew because of the fact that death is the greatest change that we will experience.

Today it is extremely unfortunate that the majority of the general public does not understand the true meaning of the skull, and when they see it they automatically relate the symbol to anger, fear, danger and death.  A lot of conservative people loathe the design because of its perceived meaning; however, if they were aware of the true meaning behind the design their views may be totally different.
