Skull Tattoos

Skulls are a staple because the shape reads instantly at any size and in any style. Anatomical realism needs shading and space to breathe; blackwork skulls rely on hard contrast and hold their shape far better over decades. Roses, snakes, moths and clock faces are the traditional companions.
