Technical Details
Line Work: The line work is clean and precise, with varying thicknesses that add depth to the design. The outlines of the skull and butterflies are bold, while finer lines are used for detailing.
Shading: Shading is done using a combination of stippling and smooth gradients, particularly on the skull to create a three-dimensional effect. The butterflies have softer shading to emphasize their delicate nature.
Color Usage: The tattoo is primarily in black and grey, with no additional colors, emphasizing the contrast between the skull and the butterflies.
