How to use skull emoji
Well, we could talk about the obvious associations with death and the grim reaper - but we won’t depress you with that stuff. Instead, let’s talk about another popular use for this emoji; to represent Halloween! Sure, you could use the Jack-O-Lantern - but why stop there? Throw in a Skull Face emoji and you can amplify that essential scare factor. You could also use this emoji to show that you are laughing so hard at something that you are dying. Let’s take an example: Sally sends her friend Susan a picture of a hamster dressed as a carrot. Susan then texts sally: OMG 😂😂😂💀
