Skull Tattoo Photo #681

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.

Forearm tattoos benefit from a natural canvas that follows the arm's long shape. Designs can wrap around the arm or sit on the inner or outer surface, giving flexibility in how the tattoo is displayed.
