Death's Head Skull
 Death'
Head Skull Tattoos
- "Death Head" Skull is used to describe a military insignia
featuring a skull above crossed bones. It is distinguished from the
similar traditions of the skull and crossbones and the Jolly Roger
(pirate symbol) by the fact that the bones are positioned directly
behind the skull.
Although the Death's Head design is often associated with the German
SS and Nazism, like the Swastika, the design is considerably older
in origin. Both designs have suffered a significant stigma because
of their association and use in Nazi Germany.
 It became a popular tattoo design with biker's who used it as a
symbol - an amulet or talisman - to ward off and protect oneself
from death.
Skulls
used in art and as symbols has a rich cultural history, ranging from
the great Master painters of the Renaissance, to the art of the
Church, to the legions and battalions of Armies across Europe.
