A classic cowboy skull with a big grin, wide-brimmed hat, and a red bandana, done by Phil @mr_ink_nyc. The black and grey shading keeps the skull bold while the red gives the hat and bandana just enough color to stand out.

A moonlit owl by Reverend Bob (@revphule), using loose black ink inspired shading to give the piece a fluid, almost painted quality. The soft washes and layered feather details make this one feel like it was pulled straight from an ink illustration. 🖤

A Japanese Daruma with bold lines and plenty of character, tattooed by our newest artist John (@badzenresidue). Daruma dolls are traditionally associated with perseverance, good luck, and setting goals, making them a pretty fitting subject for a tattoo.
