What a skull and dagger tattoo means

A skull pierced by a dagger is a memento mori: a reminder that life is short and should be lived with courage.

Placement and size

It works best on the forearm, one of the easiest spots: low pain and easy to show or cover.

Style and how it ages

American traditional uses bold black outlines and a limited palette of red, yellow, green and black. Bold outlines and saturated colour are the reason traditional flash ages so well; expect only a light touch-up after many years.
