Ouroboros Tattoo Photo #11207

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.

Achieving lifelike results in skin requires mastery of light, shadow, and color blending. Realistic tattoos often look three-dimensional, with subjects appearing to emerge from the skin surface.

Calf tattoos benefit from a muscular canvas that gives designs depth and presence. The flat rear surface works well for portraits and detailed work, while wrapping designs follow the leg's natural shape.
