Today’s skull of the day is this intricate piece by Ilona over at Slayer Tattoo in Poland. Here at INKED we love when different styles of tattooing are combined to make one killer piece, and today’s skull does exactly that. Using a brushstroke-like technique, Ilona renders a black and grey skull with color illustrative flowers which are then highlighted by the simple, yet beautiful blackwork patterning of the background petals and mandalas. It takes a skilled eye to flawlessly combine varied elements, and Ilona does not disappoint! For more of our favorite skull and flower tattoo combinations check out our top picks right here.
