Cursed skull with black candle and thorny vines

This extraordinary tattoo depicts an ancient, cursed skull with a burning black candle atop it. Melted, dark wax flows down the skull, pooling in the cracks and filling the empty eye sockets, giving the skull a sense of living horror. Twisted, thorny vines grow through the skull, seeming to grow from within, symbolizing the wildness and darkness of nature. Wisps of mysterious fog hover around the skull, while tiny bats, crescent moons, and subtle spiderwebs appear on the edges of the composition, enhancing the aura of spooky haunting. The design is executed with exceptional precision of lines and intense shading, creating a realistic, gothic atmosphere. This is a great choice for lovers of dark symbolism and Halloween aesthetics, and the whole thing, placed against a white background, highlights every detail of this eerie scene.
