Winding Snake Tattoo – Concept Sketch
This hand-drawn sketch was designed as a spine-wrapping tattoo, featuring a sinuous basilisk—mythical serpent of legend and power. The design coils organically along the spine, its movement mirroring the natural curves of the body to create a sense of fluid motion and tension.

With intricate scale work, fierce detailing in the eyes and fangs, and subtle line variation, the basilisk conveys both elegance and danger. The composition emphasizes flow, wrapping and tapering from the base of the neck to the lower back—symbolizing transformation, protection, and inner strength.
