Sugar Skulls and Dia de los Muertos The calavera, or decorated sugar skull, is the most iconic image from the Day of the Dead celebration held on November first and second. Far from morbid, the holiday honors departed loved ones with color, music, food, and joy.
Combining the strong linework of traditional tattooing with contemporary shading and color theory, neo-traditional pieces feel both familiar and fresh. The style allows for more realistic proportions while keeping the iconic bold look.
The wrist offers a compact area that suits fine-line work, small symbols, and script. Its visibility means the tattoo becomes part of daily life, always in the wearer's line of sight.
