Viper Tattoo Photo #18600

The triangular head, hinged fangs, and coiled body create a silhouette that reads as danger even at small sizes. People choose this subject to represent alertness, a readiness to strike when provoked, or simply because the animal's anatomy translates beautifully into ink.

Blackwork tattoos use solid black ink in bold, graphic compositions. The style ranges from large filled areas and heavy patterns to intricate designs that rely on contrast between ink and bare skin.

Neck tattoos are among the most visible placements, making a confident statement. The area suits small, detailed designs behind the ear or bold pieces on the side or back of the neck.
