Day of the Dead (dia de los muertos in Spanish) like Halloween, is based on the ancient feast of All Hallows Eve, which is said to be the one night that the spirits of the dead can return to earth. Day of the dead tattoos can serve as a celbration of those who have passed on. They can also serve as a symbol of change, strength, or living life to the fullest.

∙ 8y agoAs far as I know a 'sugar skull' is a skull made of sugar, chocolate or candy, and decorated in a joyus, almost happy, style for the Mexican day of the dead celebration. So in a tattoo form I would image its a tattoo of a skull decorated in the Mexican day of the dead style.....Hope this helps....TatuBaron
I think that this answer is right. I have a friend that has a sugar skull tattoo and she got it to honor her mother's memory. So I guess it's serves the same purpose as the sugar skull, just more permanent.
From my understanding the symbolism of a sugar skull is rooted in the decoration around the eyes. Flowers are meant to symbolize life while cob webs symbolize death. Burning candels set inside the eyes are a sign of rememberance. These items can also be used in combination to personalize the main focus of the skull as well.
a sugar skull represents the day of the dead, celebrated on the 1st of November...they believe the spirit of a loved one will enter the skull and revisit them for that day of the dead
