Why do artists use skulls?

Answer 1

Skull TattoosConsiderations, perceptions, beliefs by many are influenced by unknown variables. Determinations should be individual opinions. At times kept in mind without reaction, given time to overlook or simply not judge the ability to understand others choices as expressing themselves answers many questions. The skull could mean any number of things to many different groups, peoples, individuals, and other tatoo symbols, songs, art, body alterations, etc. The art of tatoo has been practiced in history facts have been found to validate the practice. Many forms, symbols, inplantation techniques, have been performed by peoples in all parts of the world. Many ethnic backgrounds, symbolic or cultures practice the marking of the body by means of implantation of ink. Derived by many means of plants, herbs, berrys, and of course modern formulations.

However the question might be best answered by the one whom owns or is considering this particular tatoo. Permanent makeup has now become a beauty enhancement. Personally, the opinions encountered as discussing the concept has been taboo. More often than I would have thought, however there is a demand for the service. When asking why one would consider permanent makeup, I have heard many responces, praises, objections, unthoughtfull judgments verbalized. However, I personally believe there is an interesting concept in permanet makeup. Body art (tattoos)personally my idea is not to encourage one persue obtaining an tatoo, whatever the symbol. However many differ with this I am sure, and may feel the same concerning permanent makeup tatoo application. It is awsome when the procedure is done with professional skill.

"It takes all kinds, this world to make it go round." A elderly dear friend used to make this statement in time that an answer or opinion would seem not to be in a kind positive manner. I have found that it figures into life with much meaning as people vary in ideas, deeds, lifestyles, etc.

That depends on the culture and the context. In some cultures they are venerated as the vessel of the soul, or simply as relics of ancestors. They were also thought to represent wisdom and guidance. They could also symbolize death, either divine or caused by man and were often used as ornaments or weapons to terrorize enemies. They were used in various ceremonies and mytical rituals as symbols of gods or aspects of nature in order to commune with the dead or the gods or cast spells. There are many more examples but I can't think of them off the top of my head (no pun intended) I agree with everything you said, but skulls don't usually mean death. My parents won't let me wear them either. I think it's really stupid. Skulls are innocent and they don't really symbolize anything...
