You may be surprised at the deeper meaning behind the skull tattoos. Many have assumed at first sight that this symbol of fear represents only one thing: death. However, skulls can mean everything from the celebration of life to the way to ward off evil spirits.

For example, ancient Celts believed that skulls were the seat of the soul. They were also the motivation of the mind: to create and continually complete the power of life.

The time period of rebirth revealed that the skulls served as tribute to the delicate nature of the Earth. All people die, since the nature of life is only temporary. It is a continual reminder of how the pursuit of greed can come to an end.
