20 Bull Skull Tattoos To Grab By The Horns

  • November 15, 2022
  • Kristen

Bull Skulls are another design that tends to harbor more masculinity in their appearance, but this doesn’t mean that we can’t make them into designs to suit everyone.

The imagery depicted in Bull Skull Tattoos is often linked with natural elements like the desert, roses, flowers, and more.

Bull skull tattoo meaning

Bull Skulls are, more often than not, linked to Native American culture. They symbolize strength, prosperity, and lifelong protection from the natural elements, so in summary, bull skulls mean one thing; strength!

Let’s look at some of the most jaw-dropping bull skull tattoos I have found.

1. Geometric Dot Work Bull Skull Tattoo

Starting with a bang, we have a gorgeous bull skull tattoo with a Native American play on imagery. I love that the artist used a dot work shading technique for this piece; it makes the entire tattoo appear soft.

My favorite part about this tattoo is the mid-blowing dot work shading; it almost looks too good to be true! Let’s not forget to mention the impressive line work, too. Overall, I give this tattoo a ten out of ten.

2. Black Work Snake Bull Skull Tattoo

This is one of the more hardcore tattoos on this list, and definitely packs a punch! The imagery on this tattoo has been crafted to perfection; I like the way the snakes create symmetry and balance to the overall design.

The line work done on this piece has been done well, and the shading is dark and beautiful. Overall, this tattoo is a work of art.

3. Black Work Floral Mandala Bull Skull Tattoo

The first thing that stands out to me about this piece is the overall placement and size of the tattoo; I think this size complements the design very well. The artist has proven his incredibly artistic eye by doing this.

My favorite part about this tattoo is the floral imagery on top of the skull’s head; this adds a gentle, welcoming feeling to the otherwise hardy bull skull tattoo!

4. Traditional Colourful Desert Bull Skull Tattoo

What is a top 20 tattoo list without a gorgeous traditional piece? This is one of my favorite pieces on this list; the bright, bold colors are a winner! The best part about this tattoo is the remarkable clean, bold lines.

My favorite part about this tattoo is its overall design and imagery; it is complete, and the artist has occupied the space well,

5. Realistic Sunflower Bull Skull Tattoo

The imagery used here is unique; I have never see a bull skull tattoo quite like this. I feel immediately drawn to the realistic sunflower inside the bulls head, this has been done with remarkable artistic skill.

The best part about this tattoo is the overall design, this is most certainly a custom piece. The thin, almost transparent lines make the entire tattoo soft.

I am so happy I could find such a hardcore tattoo to add to this extensive list; I have always wanted a headpiece like this. The line work has been done professionally, and the shading makes this piece stand out from the rest.

My favorite part about this tattoo is the pop of color in the nose of the skull and the dagger above the head; this is what gives the tattoo that badass look, the choice of the color red was spot on, too!

My love the delicate lines and soft shading used here; this gives the overall appearance of the tattoo a soft look which complements the design very well.

My eyes jump to the floral imagery of this tattoo; this gives the bull a feminine touch, which I love! The artist’s use of white ink was a smart move as it makes the dark, black ink appear even darker, giving more depth to this piece.

The line work is impeccable, too! My favorite feature of this piece is the stipple shading behind the flowers and horns; this makes the entire tattoo pop.

I love the shading done in the skull, the artist took a realistic approach here as opposed to the background imagery; this is a unique and brave take by the artist! The pop of pink in the flowers placed on the cactuses also adds to the boldness of this entire piece.

10. Blurry Effect Black And Grey Bull Skull Tattoo

This one might be the most unique twist on a bull skull tattoo I have seen to date! The blurry effect is extremely hard to tattoo, and this artist has proven their professional artistic skill here.

My favorite part about this piece is the overall design and the impressive skill of the tattooer; I can’t stop looking at it! The line work is another stand-out feature; they are clean, thin, and crispy, just how we like it.
