Although you can certainly get a water skull tattoo as a single piece, they are most often seen incorporated as a part of a sleeve. Black and grey is the common style utilizing a full range of tones from dark black to a near white grey, giving the water skull tattoo depth and dimensionality.
The water skull tattoo also looks great on the chest and can be a good tattoo to go for when you need a filler. Here are 15 different water skulls by the artists here at Kings Avenue Tattoo.
