A lot of people say that the head is representative of Medusa. I disagree. I have heard two stories; both of which take place in Japan, not Greece.
First is the story of a geisha and a monk who fell in love, this was obviously forbidden, and as a display of their enduring love and commitment to each other they chose to be decapitated instead of renouncing their love.
My tattoo artist told me that most images of severed geisha heads take place in Fall, because most of the time a geisha would be killed in Fall after a summer of "business."

What does the severed head in Macbeth symbolize?
The severed head in Macbeth is Macbeth's head at the end of the play. Because he was the king and the head of the nation, his severed head symbolizes the severing of the king from his kingdom, a kind of synechdoche. Also symbolically, severing the head of a king means he cannot wear the crown which is the symbol of his authority. By removing his head, he can no longer command. In one production when Macduff shows Macbeth's severed head, all of the soldiers which formerly were fighting for Macbeth lay down their arms as they see it. Had Macbeth only been stabbed, they might still have followed him. (Compare here the legend of El Cid, who led his troops while dead but undecapitated, or the Dracula legends which demand that the vampire be beheaded to truly kill him.) There is also an "armed head" as one of the apparitions in Macbeth, but it is not clear that it has been "severed".
