I think everyone might give a different variation on this answer. For me..and those I have sold "skull related" images and mug designs to in the "Tiki community", the tie in always goes back to the notion that "Tiki" always has had some element of "darkness" and exotica that both fascinates and involves a spirit of adventure. Anyone that will tell you skulls don't represent the "Tiki" culture is not being fully aware. Haaaa
Tiki is always about a good story. Great movies often have both an element of "darkness" against the other elements of awe and beauty. Villians make hero's shine that much more...and movies like "Indiana Jones"...mix scenes of dark exotica with those of wonder and conquest. Skulls add this to the best Tiki collections and bars I have seen. Same goes for shrunken heads. They bring you into the depths of tribal adventure. Like a really well painted black velvet...the sinister mystery of darkness lends the perfect stage for magic to shine a glow with enchanting radiance~~~
