A fix is considered a vile and mischievous animal whose slyness is unbeatable (you might have heard it in loads of fairy tales too!) However, it also has a sense of mystery about it. In the tattoo world, it is a cool symbol that might signify the inner nature of a person. This article is, however, not about the fox tattoo but the fox skull tattoo. Adding a skull creates a whole new vibe to the tattoo design aesthetically and to some extent, in its meaning too. Here are a few fox skull tattoos that you can consider getting!
Meaning of Fox Skull Tattoo Designs
Native American Symbol: The fox in native America is considered a trickster. It is used to represent the qualities of someone who is sly and cold.
