Man I love how that looks under the black light. Is that a new style of tatoo ink you can get? I've never seen it!

I sport a skull, wings and flames tattoo. The tattoo has nothing to do with Harley or motorcycles. I was a paratrooper for 9 years and most of us had a a scull with wings and flames... It all flows from the paratroopers representing "Death from Above." My battalions motto (508th INF) was Fury from the Sky.
No skulls on my bike. I wouldn't mind one but haven't found one that fits my vision for the bike which is pretty much anti-chrome, anti-commercial. A part or product with a standardized skull just seems wrong to me.
Just my .02 cents worth. Ignore if it doesn't fit your view.

I was watching Gene Simmons Family Jewels and his son Nick was wearing a t-shirt that read, "My other shirt has a skull." I thought it was hilarious!

No skulls on either of my bikes. Not that I don't think they look great, I just chose another theme.
I do have a skull ring I picked up at the 2010 Laughlin run and a Harley shirt with the Willie skull design.
One of my buddies hates skulls so I wear them to freak him out.

I have a skull on my bike for every year I was told "you will get killed on one of those things"
23+ skulls.
From a vet perspective I go with the phrase "for we who are about to die"...and from the Lafayette Escadrille, "raise your glass to the dead already, and hurrah for the next one to die!"
I also like the simplicity of the willie G. skull design.

For me it's thumbing my nose at death. We all know its coming so live until it happens.
My tats include the grim reaper, skulls, FTW, a wild jester and several other images that fit my personality as well as my life.
Its just my little way of not fitting in.
