February 16, 2019

Sugar skulls have gained quite of bit of popularity in recent years, especially from the likes of famous makeup artists and enthusiasts on YouTube creating colorful looks for Halloween and the Mexican holiday—Dia de la Muertos or Day of the Dead. Decorating your home with beautifully handcrafted sugar skulls is going to speak volumes about your taste in art and appreciation for other cultures. Here are 4 reasons you should get one:

Gothic skulls and its related art can often look morbid and scary. However, sugar skulls are the opposite. They don’t represent death, as mistakenly believed, but a life well-lived. In honor of such a life, they are decorated with colorful designs and flowers. Mexican people love decorating them in unique ways and place them in altars, churches, homes and shelves.

2.) They Come In Different Colors and Designs

Sugar skulls come in so many colors, designs and sizes that there is one for everyone. From spirals and polka dots to floral and butterflies, you can have one or have them as many as you want.

3.) They Serve Your Inner Goth

Do you like gothic, dark stuff but also love funky designs? The sugar skull is the perfect hybrid of both. Why display a boring old skull when you can have funky ones staring at you in your room. They’ll remind visitors of how cool you are.

4.) They Represent a Culture

Getting finely handcrafted sugar skulls from Mexican artists is also going to show that you have a deep appreciation for other cultures and their art form. They also serve as great conversation starters.
