Ouroboros Tattoo Photo #11217

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.

A spine tattoo draws attention to the body's natural symmetry, creating a bold centerline that works well with flowing or geometric designs. The placement is dramatic and easily hidden under clothing.
