It can be difficult for people to accept the popularity of skull tattoos when they mean such dark and depressing things, but the fact is that skull tattoos often have a very positive or motivating meaning. Skull tattoos remind people to experience obstacles and hardships, to take chances and be their best. People who choose these tattoos want to remember that their mortal life is meaningless in comparison to the wonders and glory that await them after death. In the Kabbalah belief system, the skull represents rebirth and is a time for celebration, not sadness, sorrow, and mourning.
Rose tattoo designs are so frequently tattooed with skulls, to represent the contrast between life and death or beauty and decay.  It is this symbol of duality that brings to mind the everlasting struggle between good and evil, beauty and ugliness, and the belief that from death comes life.
Skull tattoos have come to represent something much more masculine than feminine, skull tattoos aren’t just for guys anymore. Since skull tattoos are often viewed as demonic, women who opt for a skull tattoo may choose a more feminine skull tattoo design to smooth out the edges a little bit. Girly skull tattoos are often depicted as wearing pink or purple bows, which gives them a sort of quirky and ironic look. Some girly skull tattoos may even feature a skull with hearts for eyes, which could be a good choice for the woman in a couple that decides to get matching skull tattoos.
