Would you love to receive a red rose this way? We may get shocked with such a question but for some it’s the best way to convey love (at least for this guy). A skull with crossed bones is the symbol of the most dangerous thing-stay away! On the other hand, a rose stands for affection, beauty and delicacy. This tattoo is a fusion of both. Just have a look at the artistic floral carvings on the skull. This is no doubt beautiful but mysterious. The tattoo narrates a ghostly love story that belongs to the other world. Of course, man can die but not the heart of love!

Of all the skeletal parts, the skull is uniquely human. Its symbolism, as with the SKELETON, is one of human death. Many organizations have used the skull in their symbolism, typically as a means of intimidation or fierceness. Many cultures have actually worshiped skulls as sources of power, displayed them as war trophies, and even used them as chalices for sacred drinks. In tattoo artwork, skulls are used as substitutes for all types of faces or heads, and even as beads on necklaces. They take on the same symbolism of the skeleton, as well as a memento mod (Latin for ”remember you must die”), a reminder of mortality.

Skull is worshiped mostly during the evil-invitation, calling to dead sprits, ghosts etc. So this is always related to something frightening and mysterious. Isn’t it? How can this tattoo be considered positive and beautiful?
