Wings Across the Nape

From my 2022 tattoo archive. These are photographs of the work from that period, not a later healed follow-up.

Feathered wings spread along the shoulder line, joined by a central figure at the base of the neck. Tapered outer feathers keep the edges light, while denser black and grey holds the centre.

Placement is the key design reference here: the wings echo the shoulders, and the vertical axis connects the nape to the upper back. The same motif needs different proportions when it moves to another part of the body.
