Jolly Rogers Tattoo Meanings

The pirate flag or Jolly Roger symbol of the glaring skull with crossed bones or cutlasses.

The Jolly Roger tattoo meanings go back to the very root of nautical tattoos.

It is a symbol of the very life of living at sea, swashbuckling and adventure on the high seas.

French pirates originally flew their pretty red flag when they intended to take noprisonerss. No quarter would be offered and the fight would be to the death.

The british began the tradition of the “jolly Roger’ which was designed to project ferocity and toughness and induce quick surrender.
Many of the buccaneers came upwithh their own variations.
