Skulls may very well be the most popular subject matter of tattoos. They have been the subject of choice since the very beginning of tattoos in modern American (the Sailor Jerry era and after). They symbolize many things, including life and death (logically) in addition to protection against evil, ne’erdowells, and mischievous spirits. They are even considered to be regal in some cultures, while in others skulls are meant to honor loved ones from long ago. They are featured heavily in a large number of tattoo concepts and styles, and are often what separates talented tattooists from those who need to put in a few more years in the chair.

The ubiquity of skulls being found in every local parlor portfolio can make it tricky when deliberating which shop to go to for yours. If located within or visiting the Greater Toronto Area there is just one shop to consider – Adrenaline. Read ahead to find out why.
