Skull and Roses Pin, Pewter

The skull and roses is one of the great classics of tattoo art and biker culture. The skull is a reminder that life is short; the roses speak of what makes it beautiful: love, passion, loyalty. Together, they carry a simple message: live to the full, with no regrets.

Real relief
This pin is not just an engraved plate: the skull is sculpted in full volume, up to 6 mm thick at the centre, and its edges taper down until they blend into the surface. The result: it sits flat against the leather, with no sharp edge sticking out or catching. The roses curl around the side and over the top of the forehead, and the details of the petals and teeth stand out under the patina.

Handmade, piece by piece
Each pin is cast in solid pewter in our workshop, then given a hand-applied antique silver patina: no two are exactly alike.

It looks right on a leather vest, a jacket, a cap or a bag. To make sure you never lose it on the road, try our locking pin backs, which fit all our pins.
