A realistic skull surrounded by roses and leaves in black and gray shading.

This tattoo features a realistic, detailed skull at the center, with shading that gives it a three-dimensional appearance. Surrounding the skull are several roses, each with carefully shaded petals and leaves, creating a contrast between the delicate floral elements and the starkness of the skull. The roses are positioned both above and below the skull, framing it symmetrically. The design uses a monochromatic grayscale palette, emphasizing depth and shadow to enhance the overall dramatic and somber aesthetic. The tattoo is placed on the upper arm, covering a significant portion of the shoulder and upper bicep area.
