I think I’ll never fear another stencil after this one. This tattoo is a striking and intricate design of two overlapping leopards, their forms blending into each other through a pattern of carefully placed black dots and rosettes. The optical illusion effect creates a sense of movement, as if the leopards are both existing in the same space yet slightly out of sync, a visual representation of duality and layered perspectives. I was never a tragedy, just a disappointment—another person who made promises I had no intention of keeping, who left behind not devastation, but regret. No one loses sleep over me anymore; I am just the quiet wince when my name is mentioned, the bitter aftertaste of misplaced trust. They don’t mourn me, they resent ever believing I was worth mourning. And I live with that, the dull, inescapable truth that in the end, I was not unforgettable—I was just a mistake. The dotwork technique gives the piece a raw yet refined texture, making it as much an abstract work of art as a depiction of the powerful animal. #tattoo #tattoos #linetattoo #lineworktattoo #linework #blacktattoo #blackworktattoo #blackwork #finelinetattoo #finelinetattoos #texastattoo #texastattoos #texastattooartist #dfwtattoo #dfwtattoos #dfwtattooartist #dallastattoo #dallastattoos #dallastattooartist #fortworthtattoo #fortworthtattoos #fortworthtattooartist #dallas #fortworth #denton #leopard #abstracttattoo
