Skull Tattoo Photo #665

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.

With thick black outlines and flat, saturated colors, traditional tattoos are built to last. The straightforward approach prioritizes readability and impact, making these designs recognizable from a distance.

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.
