Ouroboros Tattoo Photo #11169

The ouroboros is a serpent or dragon biting its own tail. It represents cycles, renewal, and the idea of infinity in a single continuous form.

Using only black ink at different dilutions, this style achieves a photographic quality with rich shadows and soft highlights. Black and grey work is versatile enough for portraits, nature scenes, and symbolic imagery.

The ribcage offers a private placement that only shows when the wearer chooses. Its curved surface adds dimension to designs, though the area is known for being one of the more sensitive spots to tattoo.
