Human skull framed by four roses, buds and thorned vines, drawn as black outline art on white for use as a tattoo stencil. A cracked skull with hollow eye sockets and a toothy jaw sits in the centre, ringed by open roses, serrated leaves and curling thorny stems. Swap the flowers, the skull or the line weight, or add shading, to make your own design.

A tattoo stencil design for a calf, in flat line art: pure black outlines on a pure white background, with nothing else. A front-facing human skull sits in the upper-middle of the canvas as the focal point. It has a rounded cranium, two large round eye sockets, an inverted heart-shaped nose cavity, a cheekbone arch on each side, a short row of separate upper and lower teeth, and a few simple crack lines on the forehead. Around it, a cluster of three open roses and one rosebud sits at the lower left and right of the skull, and a second smaller cluster sits behind the crown. Each rose is drawn as a spiral of closed petal outlines, with the centre curl tight and the outer petals opening wider. Pointed serrated leaves and thorned stems curve around the skull and run down below the jaw, so the whole piece forms a tall oval silhouette that suits a calf. A few petals overlap the skull edge, with the skull line broken cleanly behind them. All lines are the same medium-bold weight, smooth and continuous, with every shape closed. There is no shading, no hatching, no stippling, no grey, no gradients and no filled black areas. The eye sockets, nose and gaps between teeth stay as open white shapes bounded by outlines. Gaps between neighbouring lines are wide enough to survive as a tattoo. There is no text, no border, no skin, no body part and no mockup. The design is flat artwork centred on a white canvas with a generous white margin on every side.
