Hi steemit community - I hope you enjoy this information of what the skull symbolizes in the real world and in the world of tattoos

The skulls, caravels, or as we like to call them - are a very classic symbol within the world of tattoos, in spite of the long time and the generations that have passed to the length and breadth of the world, the skulls have remained very constant inside people who love tattoos
It can be said that the skulls are the oldest symbol, and the most primary symbol that refers us to death
An example of this is if we remember the pirate flag, it has a skull either with crossed bones or swords under it- that symbol is used to intimidate, warn that there is danger, or a death situation approaching. And something obvious is that this is also used to cause fear and terror in the enemy
The best of the graphic message that the skulls represent, be it in the support of a tattoo, in the one of a flag or some sign, is that they instinctively refer us to death, or that there is a danger near
For this type of example, it does not matter if it is the skull of a human, that of a cow, a bull, etc. ., whenever we look at the skeletons, the direct bones, thus without flesh transmits to us that instinctive message that there is a danger that is constant, or that there is a danger that lies in wait for us

In this way the skulls have generated this meaning of death and fear throughout the history of mankind
The skulls in the world of tattoos, can be combined with different elements, such as crowns, diamonds, roses, sabers, and of course the skull is also variable it can be that of a human being, that of a bull, that of an elephant, the skull of a bird or whatever else you like, can be combined with any other element and the message of death can also be mixed with any other type of message, such as violence, money, wealth

The bearer of this tattoo seeks to reflect that fear in others, is a person who is somehow using that object to warn that it is capable of causing death to others
On the other hand, the skulls are also par excellence the symbol of the occult forces, the symbol of black magic and are also associated with sacrificial rituals, rituals of black magic, satanic rituals, and in some current religions are used to contact the dead because the skulls are also a contact with the world beyond
In antiquity it was believed that the skulls had divinatory properties or were used to consult the spirits of the beyond, more or less as now what we know as a crystal ball- that is, the skulls were used in shamanistic rituals, or in witchcraft rituals to obtain information about the future, to get information from the world of the dead, and in some cases to get favors from demons or creatures that are not in this dimension
For example
The Indian goddess Cali

wears a necklace of skulls As a warning of danger - trying to say that it has the power to take life in quantities amounts, but regardless of religion, time or time, the skulls remain a connection to the occult, a connection to death, and a warning of danger
In short the skulls in the world of tattoos have been a classic ah over the years, they remain so today, and probably will be until the end of humanity
I hope that this information has served you as something of a greeting - successes and blessings for you
