Sting and Bloom

Description

Bold neo-traditional piece on the shoulder blade featuring a heavy-shaded scorpion arched toward a red rose with three teardrop-shaped splashes. Thick black outlines and peppery grey shading create depth, while the saturated red provides striking contrast. The scorpion symbolizes protection, resilience, and the Scorpio zodiac; the rose speaks to love and passion. The droplets hint at sacrifice or intensity, uniting beauty and danger in one design.
