Beauty in Death Tattoo Sheer Hold-Ups
$24.00 $26.00
Skulls are the epitome of death and human mortality - a grim reminder that one day our time will be up. So what happens when you throw a snake into the mix? The meaning that you derive from a skull and snake tattoo will depend on your cultural context. In the Western world, both images symbolize the physical and spiritual destruction of a being, and the tattoo of a snake coiled around the skull means utter decay and death at the hands of a threatening creature. However in other cultures, a snake is the embodiment of healing, renewal and rebirth as it sheds its skin through sloughing. When paired with a skull - a symbol of mortality - such tattoo design becomes a symbol of death and rebirth, or the cycle of life and death.
