What does a skull and heart tattoo symbolize?

Answer 1

A skull and heart tattoo can symbolize the juxtaposition of life and death, representing the duality of human existence. The skull typically represents mortality, while the heart symbolizes love, passion, or life itself. Together, they may convey themes of embracing both the darkness and light within oneself, or the idea of living life to the fullest despite its inevitable end.

Answer 2

A skull and crossbones is usually a sign of something dangerous and warns a person not to enter ...or to fear death. They were long popular in the old school of tattooing on bikers to show one's outlaw side and now they are synonomous with heavy metal, outlaws and the 'wrong side of the tracks. As the art of tattooing has progressed as have the type of people sporting them, a skull and crossbones can be a new school tribute to the old school art...a way for someone to show there 'other' side.

It might mean that the wearer of the skull and crossbones tattoo, is or is related to piracy (or he/she thinks of him/herself as a pirate)

It is also a reminder of our own mortality.

I dont have any tattoos yet, but the skull and crossbones for me is a symbol of a rebellious spirit. As well as demonstrating my love for Horror. It may also be demonic.

I got a morphed skull and crossbones, it is a combination of skull and bones and a human heart with aorta veins, It's a symbol of impending death, a reminder of my condition, a symbol of the struggle with my self to survive. You see I had a massive heart attack almost exactly a year ago, Feb. 11, 2005, surgery and recovery, change of lifestyle, all that stuff. I'm doing very well now. I'm very proud of this tattoo, I have several, but this one has special meaning only for me. So I think with all tattoos, they could hold a completely different meaning for anyone.

The actually mearning very few know it really is a myth about Adam and Eve. somed up that Christ was hang above there graves at the place of the skull.

In the old days, I mean the really old days, a skull and crossbones symbol would hang above the entrance to buildings and places related to death (mortuaries, graveyards and so on), to warn people not to go in there. As the years passed, it of course became a symbol of death or risk of death, like on crates of poison.

It is originally not at all related to Nazism; Pretty much all nations in the world used this symbol on their uniforms, but as WWII was over, most people related it to Nazism, and therefore, other armies stopped using this symbol.

When Emanuell Wynn started using this symbol (all pirates had their own symbol; Blackbeard had a full skeleton with horns, holding a spear towards a bleeding heart, Calico Jack had a skull with crossing cutlasses under it, Bartholomew Roberts (Black Bart) had a drawing of himself and a skeleton toasting, Thomas tew had a human arm holding a cutlass in the raised position), it was of course because it was related to poison and death, and this scared the fighting will out of anyone who saw a ship flying these colors.

Pirates did not, however, use it to say "No quarter" ("take no prisoners", meaning that everyone would be killed). A full red flag in addition to the pirate's personal Jolly Roger meant "No quarter", a Jolly Roger simply meant "hello there, we are pirates, and if you look closely enough, you'll see who the captain is!".

So, to sum up:

1. Death

2. Poison

3. Piratery

4. "Oooh, look at me, I'm tough"

Answer 3

Well, honey, a skull and heart tattoo can symbolize the contrast between life and death, love and mortality. It's basically saying, "I'm tough but I still got a heart in here somewhere." So, wear it proudly and remember, you're a badass with a soft side.

Answer 4

Oh, dude, like, a skull and heart tattoo can symbolize the duality of life and death, you know? The skull represents mortality and the heart symbolizes love or passion. So, it's like saying, "Hey, I'm deep and complex, but also, I like to keep it edgy."
