Submit your own found/made skulls at the address in the upper right-hand corner of the site. Please be patient it will take around 4-6 weeks for new submissions to be posted. [In case you're wondering it takes 2-3 hours to put together one of these posts!] Be sure to include what name and link you would like included and if you found it online a link to the source. Also if you're sending tattoos be sure to include the artist's name and location, so we can give them proper credit. I won't repost items I've received before so be sure to check previous Braincase posts.
Don't forget you can see your items in the sidebar right away if you post them to Flickr and include the tag "skulladay".
That hoodie looks so good, I think I might have to do some experiments with bleach sticks...
