A motorcycle rider pledges to carry on the legacy and pride until death. It also shows their loyalty to the club and brotherhood. Today, bikers adorn themselves and their bikes with skull stickers, skull seat covers, skull patches, skull jewelry, and other skull accessories in a show of uniqueness and an undying commitment to motorcycling. They engraved the skull emblem in all fashion assortments including jackets, t-shirts, rings, helmets and even more prominently on their bikes. The skull motif became ubiquitous among bikers and they just couldn’t have enough of it. But many believe that the biker gang subculture was the first to bring it into the public domain. It is quite unclear as to how the human skull broke the mold into the mainstream fashion industry. The enduring image of a skull has been around for centuries dotting many cultures around the world. So what is so special about skull symbolism? To fully understand this, we must first delve into its past history.

Also, something else must make it so special despite its association with death, mortality and the afterlife. I like to think that the deep fascination with skulls is what makes it last longer. The skull symbol is the most consistent image in all of the fashion, weathering the trends that change in a blink of an eye. But peculiarly, this does not seem to affect the skull symbol which is evergreen and revered by many in the fashion industry. Every now and then, new tastes appear and disappear within no time. It is unmistakably the same no matter what type of fashion is around at any time.

If you are keen with fashion, you will notice something that has never changed for eons- the remarkable emblem of a skull. From trendy children’s shirts to skull helmets, skull boots, skull leggings, bracelets, skull earrings, and skull hoodies. Skulls were once legends of the forbidden territory of sinister symbols, but are now being used prominently as statements of fashion. Previously associated with the dark and morbid world, skulls are now redefining the fashion industry.
