15 Potent Skull And Snake Tattoos
Tattoo Ideas1 min Read

Skull tattoos are strongly associated with death and human mortality, just another grim reminder that one day our time will all be up.
So what happens when you throw a snake into the mix? In the western world the image of a skull and snake most commonly represents the nature of death and both the physical and spiritual destruction of a person. The snake coiled round the skull is an intense image of death at the hands of a threatening creature. Nevertheless, elsewhere in the world a snake is the symbol of healing and rebirth! Together in this sense the skull and snake become a symbol of death and rebirth, or the cycle of life and death.
What will your skull and snake tattoo mean to you? Will it just be a badass old school tattoo? Or will you embrace the life and death symbolism it comes with?
