Marble and Mortality

Description

A hyperreal black-and-grey tattoo merging a classical marble bust with an exposed skull along a jagged seam. The skull symbolizes mortality while the marble face evokes classical beauty and permanence, creating a striking contrast between life and decay. Detailed shading and fine linework emphasize texture. Not a depiction of a specific famous person — a symbolic neo-classical memento mori piece suited for the rib/side area.
