Fungal Skull with Dripping Mushrooms

Descripción

A bold blackwork neo-traditional piece combining a human skull with oversized mushrooms and dripping, root-like tendrils. The skull represents mortality and impermanence; the fungi suggest decay, transformation, and new growth. Heavy shading, negative space and illustrative linework create a surreal, macabre feel. Works well on the upper thigh/hip as shown, sized for visible detail and flow with the body's curves.
