There’s no denying that biker gang members sport a badass look. However, to achieve such a look, you need to know how to accessorize well. That’s why it’s essential to know how to wear skull rings, how to complete your outfit and which style works best. If you’re short of time to find out, you can immediately take a look at one of our best skull rings, the one that suits every situation and goes with everything!
1) How many skull rings should I wear?
🔥THE MOST POPULAR PRODUCTS🔥
Men are often conservative, and so is men’s fashion. Photos of celebrities or rockstars wearing rings on all their fingers make them look cool, but they’re stars. Although biker culture is the opposite of conservative, few people can afford to be full-time bikers. Many men have fairly conventional jobs where a multitude of rings would seem ridiculous. However, that doesn’t mean they can’t wear something other than a wedding ring. Standards allow a total of 2 or 3 rings to be worn on both hands.
Interesting fact: in most countries, it’s customary to wear wedding rings on the ring finger. Some people wear them on the right hand, others on the left. This is due to the division between Orthodox and Catholic among Christians.
Depending on the dominant hand, the right hand is generally used for work, while the left hand is reserved for skull and crossbones ornaments. For left-handers, it’s the other way around. This doesn’t set strict limits, but keep in mind that you could accidentally damage the rings on your dominant hand. What’s more, if you’re prone to physical confrontation, a punch thrown with a ringed hand may cause more damage to yourself than to your opponent. So, when choosing a skull and crossbones ring, be guided by the hand you use less actively.
2) How to Match Skull Rings to Outfits
Skull-embellished jewelry goes perfectly with all elements of biker style. Just look at a motorcycle. It’s filled with chrome-plated metal parts and leather. That’s what bikers wear: leather and steel. Therefore, when you’re thinking about your outfit, just choose jewelry that matches the event and you’ll be fine.
The situation regarding ordinary clothing is a little trickier. Fortunately, imposing skull jewelry goes well with casual style. If you like to wear simple dark jeans with a t-shirt or flannel shirt, your biker rings won’t look out of place. Skulls also go well with other jewelry, such as leather bracelets or silver skull necklaces. In fact, silver rings make an excellent pairing with a silver wallet chain or belt buckle.
Skull rings are much more difficult to match with a professional wardrobe. However, there is a little trick: you can try combining them with cufflinks, a tie clip or a skull watch. You may have to forego massive rings, as they tend to attract all the attention. A better option would be to opt for a signet ring instead.
If you still want to incorporate elements of your biker side into the business world, you can complete your look with other adornments, such as bracelets or necklaces. These can always be concealed under clothing when you’re attending an important business event. However, you’ll always feel accompanied by their presence.
3) Choosing your Skull Ring: Finger Morphology
When choosing a ring, take into account the size of your palm and the shape of your fingers. Modern men’s fashion allows 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 too thick. Opt for large, solid-textured rings.
Massive, elegant skull and crossbones are perfect for short, thick fingers. Large, imposing rings will enhance the uniqueness of these fingers. However, we recommend choosing a ring that is slightly less wide. A well-fitted ring will give the impression of extending the finger, which will visually lengthen a short phalanx even more.
If your hands are of average size, you’re in luck. You can try on and wear rings of different textures, shapes and sizes. And if you want more details, you can consult the methods for choosing your ring according to your hand morphology.
4) What’s the best way to wear a skull ring?
There’s no 100% correct “rule” regarding the orientation of your ring. Most men wear their rings in a way that is clearly visible to others, i.e. with the ring design facing outwards. However, bikers are not “most men”. What is common among civilians is not necessarily appreciated by motorcycle enthusiasts.
By now, you should know how many rings you can wear, on which fingers you can wear them, how to match them to your outfit, how to choose a ring based on your body type. We’ve 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. Let’s fill this gap and talk about the symbolism of the skull when the ring points inwards or outwards.
5) The Ring Pointing Outwards or Inwards: What Significance?
Before you wear a skull ring on your finger, think about what it means to you personally. Depending on your answer, wear your skull ring either facing outwards or inwards.
If a ring is a means of expression, an accessory that defines your style and links the different elements of your outfit, then wear it in a way that is visible to others. After all, a silver skull ring is proof that you’re hip, tough and stylish, so you need to show it off and prove it to society.
If a ring has sentimental significance for you, or if it has a meaning that’s clear only to you, it’s best to wear it so that it faces you. For example, if you received the ring as a gift from a friend or another member of your club, or if it pays tribute to a comrade who passed away too soon… In this case, you’re the only person for whom the ring is intended, so the skull should be looking straight at you.
If you yourself are a member of a biker gang and wear a ring as part of a badge, then the skull should face outwards. Everyone needs to know which club you belong to. Make sure people can easily see your ring and distinguish what’s represented and written on it. What’s more, if you have disputes with other biker groups, the ring you wear should be the last thing your opponent sees when your fist hits him in the face, i.e. your ring should be able to communicate this.
If it’s customary in your club to wear rings the other way round, then it’s only fair to wear them as your fellow riders do. Respect your gang’s traditions and customs. This is the “rule” or common way of wearing rings.
If for any reason you find this direction impractical, or if for personal reasons you wish to reverse the direction of a skull and crossbones ring, it won’t hurt to discuss it with the club president or leader. Explain your motivation or your discomfort. If your reasons are convincing, he should accept that you wear your ring in your own way.
