Snake Skull Embroidery Patch – Reptile Skull Patch for Jackets, Gear & Collectors
Snake skull embroidery patch collection.
Animal skull patches have a strong presence in alternative fashion, but reptile skulls bring a darker, more mysterious edge. Sleek, venomous, and symbolic, the snake skull stands apart from traditional mammal skull designs with its elongated shape and unmistakable silhouette.
After creating this design originally as part of my reptile sticker range, the response made it clear that the snake skull was a favourite. That popularity pushed me to expand the design into an embroidered patch—resulting in this Snake Skull Embroidery Patch, made for collectors who appreciate reptile anatomy, gothic skull art, and bold animal imagery.

Why the Snake Skull?
Snakes have long been associated with symbolism that feels darker and more complex than many other animals. Across cultures, the snake represents:
Transformation and rebirth
Danger and venom
Intelligence and survival
Power hidden beneath the surface
A snake skull design takes those ideas even further—combining gothic aesthetics with reptile anatomy. The elongated skull, hollow eye sockets, and sharp structure give this patch a more sinister, aggressive feel that works perfectly in alternative and darker patch collections. The snake skull silhouette draws inspiration from venomous species such as cobras, vipers, and rattlesnakes, giving the design its sharp, aggressive structure.
Designed for Reptile & Skull Patch Collectors
This embroidered snake skull patch is ideal for collectors looking to add variety beyond traditional animal skulls. Reptile skull designs feel more unusual and less commonly seen, making them a standout piece on:
Denim jackets and vests
Backpacks and messenger bags
Battle jackets and alternative fashion
Patch displays and collections
If you’re drawn to venomous or gothic-inspired designs, this snake skull patch fits naturally alongside other animal skull patches while still feeling distinct.

Snake imagery has always been popular in gothic, biker, and alternative scenes. Combined with skull art, it creates a design that feels:
Dark and symbolic
Sharp and aggressive
Perfect for custom gear and personal expression
Whether you’re building a themed battle jacket or simply collecting unique embroidered patches, the snake skull offers something visually different from more common skull designs.
Final Thoughts
The Snake Skull Embroidery Patch is a natural evolution of my animal skull designs—taking inspiration from reptile anatomy and darker symbolism. If you’re a patch collector, reptile enthusiast, or fan of gothic skull art, this patch was designed to stand out while still fitting seamlessly into a larger skull patch collection.
Part of My Animal Skull Patch Range
This snake skull patch sits within my wider animal skull embroidery patch range. While mammal skulls like bulls and rams focus on strength and dominance, reptile skulls introduce a more gothic, venomous aesthetic that adds contrast and depth to a collection.
This snake skull patch sits alongside other animal skull designs in my collection, including my Bull, Ram and Raven Skull Embroidery patch each exploring a different side of skull symbolism and anatomy.
