Skull Tattoo Photo #655
The human skull transcends cultures-appearing in biker patches, sugar skull celebrations, pirate flags, and vanitas paintings. Its meaning shifts from dark rebellion to colorful celebration depending on style and context.
Inspired by jewelry, architecture, and textile patterns, ornamental tattoos create intricate, decorative compositions on the skin. Precision and symmetry are key, giving these pieces an almost meditative quality.
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.
