Learn More About The Flaming Skull Drawing

​​The veneration of skulls by humans has a long history. Prehistoric evidence suggests that in some cultures, the skulls of deceased ancestors were cleaned and set apart for worship. Animal skulls were used in rituals meant to aid in the hunt.

​​​In art and culture, skulls often represent death or evil. Some ancient cultures made crystal models of human skulls to represent life.

Sugar skulls are candies that are made, decorated, and eaten in celebration of the Day of the Dead, roughly equivalent to Halloween, and the Roman Catholic holiday known as All Souls' Day.

​Today, skulls - especially those on fire - are used to represent rebellion, separateness, or aloofness by motorcycle clubs, heavy metal musical groups, and other cultural subsets.

Many clothing and accessory designs feature skull patterns. Flaming skulls are also common subject matter for tattoos. A number of comic book characters are also known to spontaneously combust, revealing their skull amid flaming flesh.
