Creepily Cadaverous Chalices

The Tribal Skull Mug is a Gruesomely Skeletal Cup

— March 4, 2013 — Art & Design
Those who cannot bare to take another sip from an average cup should try drinking from this Gothic Tribal Skull Mug. It's generous size holds plenty of coffee, ale or lambs blood, but it will probably start to sizzle if you put any holy water nearby.

The front features a large 3D skull with mini skulls going all around the top and bottom of the mug. The handle has a spine-like look and feel, and rib cages decorate the sides. Anyone who fancies themselves as a pirate, a member of the Skull and Bones secret society or part of a cannibalistic tribe should definitely get their hands on a mug this epic and skull-tastic.

The Gothic Tribal Skull Mug is a spine-chilling tankard suitable for all your ceremonial sacrificing needs.
Trend Themes
1. Gothic Home Decor - Opportunity for businesses to develop a line of Gothic home decor inspired by the Tribal Skull Mug.
2. Novelty Drinkware - Opportunity for businesses to create more unique and novelty drinkware items for consumers.
3. Cultural Appropriation - Increasing awareness of cultural appropriation may lead to a decrease in demand for products that use culturally significant symbols, such as the Tribal Skull Mug.
Industry Implications
1. Home Decor - Businesses can capitalize on the trend of Gothic home decor by creating new product lines inspired by items such as the Tribal Skull Mug.
2. Drinkware - The Tribal Skull Mug represents a unique and novel approach to drinkware, which could inspire businesses to create more creative drinkware items in order to stand out.
3. Cultural Apparel - The Tribal Skull Mug could serve as an example of cultural appropriation in consumer goods and negatively affect demand for similar apparel items that feature culturally significant symbols.
