How To Wear A Skull Ring ?

There’s no doubt that biker gang members look tough. However, to pull off that kind of toughness, you need to know how to pull off the whole package. That’s why you absolutely need to know how to wear skull rings, how to complete your outfit and what style suits you best. But if you don’t have the time to find out, you can check out one of our best skull rings, the one that goes everywhere and in every situation!

1) How many Skull Rings should I wear ?

Men are quite conservative, as is men’s fashion. Pictures of celebrities or rock stars with rings hanging from all fingers make them look cool, but they are stars. Although biker culture is the opposite of conservative, few people can afford to be bikers full-time. Many men have fairly regular jobs where the abundance of rings would look ridiculous. However, you shouldn’t think that you can’t wear anything but a wedding ring. Standards allow for 2 or 3 rings on both hands.

Interesting fact: in most countries, it is customary to wear wedding rings on the ring finger. Some people wear them on their right hand, others on their left. This is due to the division of Christians into Orthodox and Catholic.

Given the dominant hand, it is believed that the right hand is for work and the left hand for skull ornaments. For left-handed people, it is the other way around. This does not impose strict limits, but keep in mind that you could accidentally damage the rings on your dominant hand. Besides, if you are ever a brawler, a punch with a ringed hand can do even more damage to you than to your opponent. Therefore, when choosing a skull ring, let the hand you use less actively be your guide.

2) How to Match Skull Rings to Your Outfits

Skull jewelry goes perfectly with all elements of biker style. Just look at a motorcycle. It’s full of chrome metal parts and leather. That’s what bikers wear: leather and steel. Therefore, when you’re in the middle of thinking about what to wear, just opt for jewelry that matches the event and you’ll be fine.

The situation with regular clothing is a little trickier. Fortunately, massive skull jewelry goes well with casual style. If you like to wear regular dark jeans with a flannel shirt or T-shirt, your biker rings won’t look shady. On the other hand, skulls go perfectly with other jewelry, for example leather bracelets or silver skull necklaces. By the way, silver rings will make a great pairing with a silver wallet chain or belt buckle.

It is much more difficult to match skull rings with a professional wardrobe. However, there is a little trick: you can try combining them with cufflinks, a tie clip or a skull watch. Maybe you should ditch the massive rings, as they tend to attract all the attention. A better option is to opt for a ring instead.

If you still want to bring elements of your biker nature into the business world, you can complete your look with other adornments, such as bracelets or necklaces. They can always be hidden under clothing if you are going to an important business event. However, you will always feel that they are with you.

3) Choosing your skull ring: Finger morphology

When choosing a ring, consider the size of the palm and the shape of your fingers. Modern men’s fashion allows for jewelry to be worn on any finger, including the pinky and thumb.

If you have long, slender fingers, it’s best to choose rings that are wide, but not thick. You should opt for large rings and rings with a solid texture.

Massive, elegant skull rings work well on short, thick fingers. Large and massive rings will emphasize the specificity of these fingers. You should be aware that you should choose a ring that is a little less wide. A well-fitting ring will give the impression of cutting the finger, which will visually reduce a short phalanx even more.

If you have average hand dimensions, you’re in luck. You can try and wear rings of any texture, shape and size. And if you’re looking for more details, you can check out the methods for choosing a ring according to your hand shape.

4) In what sense to wear a skull ring ?

First of all, there is no 100% correct “rule” about the orientation of your ring. Most men wear a ring in a way that is clearly visible to onlookers, meaning that the direction of the ring is outward, towards other people. However, bikers are not “most men.” Indeed, what is practiced by civilians is not necessarily appreciated by motorcycle enthusiasts.

By now you should be able to know how many rings you can wear, which fingers you can wear a ring on, how to combine your skull rings with the rest of your outfit, how to choose your skull ring according to your body type. We even published an article on the best reasons to wear skull jewelry.

However, nowhere on the internet is there any information on how a skull ring should be oriented. Meanwhile, the way you wear your biker skull ring will determine the message you want to convey to others. Let’s fill in that gap and talk about the symbolism of the skull when your ring points inward and outward.

5) The Inward or Outward Facing Ring: What is the meaning ?

Before you put a skull ring on your finger, you should ask yourself what it means to you personally. Depending on your answer, wear your skull ring either pointing outward or inward.

If a ring is a statement piece, an accessory that defines your style and is a link between different elements of your outfit, then you should wear it so that it faces others. Ultimately, a silver skull ring is proof that you are fashionable, rugged and dapper, so you owe it to yourself to show it, to prove it to society.

If a ring has a sentimental meaning or if it has a meaning that is clear only to you, it is best to wear it in a way that it faces you. For example, you may have received the ring as a gift from a friend, another member of your club, or it may be in honor of a classmate who left too soon… In this case, you are the only person for whom this ring is intended, so the skull should look you straight in the eye.

If you yourself are a member of a biker gang and wear a ring as part of a badge, then the skull should face outward. Everyone needs to know which club you belong to. That’s why you need to make it easy for people to see your ring and distinguish what is represented and written on it. Also, if you have a beef with other biker groups, you should wear a ring so that it is the last thing your opponent sees when your fist hits him in the face, which again means your ring should be able to communicate that.

If it is customary in your club to wear your ring the other way around, then it is only fair to wear it as your classmates do. You must respect the traditions and customs of your gang. This should be the “Code” or common way of wearing rings.

If, for some reason, you find this direction impractical or if, for personal reasons, you wish to reverse the skull ring sense, it won’t hurt to talk to the club president or leader. Then, you can explain your motivation or inconvenience. If your reasons are convincing, he should agree to let you wear your ring your way.
