First session of this traditional cover-up 🐍🦅🌹💀

A big first session on this custom traditional-style cover-up, featuring a skull, roses, snake and eagle — with the colour still to come.

The blackwork and outlines are down, creating the foundation for the final piece. Once the colour is added, this is going to completely transform the existing tattoo.

One session down… more to come. 🔥

✨ Delicate elegance meets meaningful design. ✨

This stunning fine line back tattoo was created to flow naturally with the body, combining a graceful floral lily design with elegant script work for a timeless and feminine look. The soft, minimal linework allows the tattoo to breathe while still making a statement across the upper and mid-back. 🌸

Fine line tattoos are all about precision, balance, and longevity. Every line in this piece was carefully placed to create movement and harmony, allowing the flower to wrap beautifully across the shoulder blade while the script adds a personal touch and deeper meaning. The result is a tattoo that feels both delicate and powerful.

Large-scale fine line tattoos can be incredibly striking when designed correctly. Rather than relying on heavy shading or bold outlines, this style uses clean lines, negative space, and thoughtful composition to create something elegant, modern, and uniquely personal. This floral back piece is a perfect example of how simplicity can have maximum impact.

Thank you for the trust with this beautiful custom piece. It was a pleasure bringing this design to life. 🙏
