Tiger Skull Temporary Tattoo

Drawn in bold old-school lines, a roaring orange tiger rises above a gray skull on this color design. The tiger's amber eyes glare straight ahead, its open jaws show yellow fangs, and white claws close in on both sides of the skull, whose eye sockets glow red. Red flame-shaped blades, long fine whiskers and a fan of brown leaves with pale curved thorns complete the piece.

American traditional tattoo colors

The design follows the codes of American traditional tattooing: thick black outlines, flat fills of orange, red, yellow and gray, and a dark halo of shading behind the whole figure. Pairing a living predator with a skull is a classic of that style, setting raw strength against a reminder of death. The upright, oval layout suits an upper arm, a thigh or a shoulder blade.
