The skulls are sometimes placed upon an altar to welcome deceased loved ones back home. During the holiday, many people decorate themselves with Sugar Skull makeup, including temporary Sugar Skull tattoos. The Day of the Dead starts just after the American holiday of Halloween, so you’ll see many Trick-or-Treaters, usually adults, wearing Sugar Skull designs.
