Garter Snake Tattoo With Nasturtium Flowers
Here’s a uniquely positioned tattoo that we don’t see anywhere else on this page. The artist did a really good job integrating the flowers with the snake – neither of them are the star, yet they both are. They work together to make the overall piece better than the sum of its parts.

A Little Pet Snake Wrist Wrap Tattoo
Check out the awesome pattern on this little guy. I love how the artist left such clear gaps of negative space, which really makes the snake’s intricate pattern stand out.
But I have a question for you, how do you feel about the snake’s head coming all the way onto the hand?

Black Snake and Peony Wrist / Forearm Tattoo
Women (and men alike) keep notice of the placement of this tattoo. These floral snake tattoos look awesome on the top of the forearm.
What’s so good about this piece?
Look at how elegantly the snake’s body bends and twists – I love it.The peony is beautiful, as is the shading of the leaves.

Smoke Snake Rose Tattoo
Here’s a snake tattoo done on the side of the calf. If you haven’t already got a side calf tattoo, would you want one?
What I like about this piece is its super smooth shading. The flowers look really nice too. The snake, I’m not really in love with it, but it’s not bad at all.

Top of Forearm Snake and Rose Tattoo
Look how sweet this piece looks on this person’s arm. The snake’s head and tail take up the length of the top-forearm, while the rest of the piece shrinks as it wraps to the inside of the forearm. And the detailed shading of the rose is extraordinary.
This snake is a beauty!

A Dark Snake of the Rose, a Calf Tattoo
Looking for somewhere to put your feminine snake tattoo? The slender shape of some calves can make them a great place to get tattooed.

Linework Peony Flowers and Minimal Blackwork Snake Shoulder Tattoo
Flower tattoos wrapping around the shoulder are a really popular look amongst women. With this tattoo I love how the artist kept the flowers shaded with a very minimal use of linework. These light flowers contrast well with the darker snake. Also take note how the snake’s head and one branch of leaves follows the body from the shoulder to chest under the collarbone. This gives a really pretty, natural look to the piece.

A Black and Gray Viper Rose Tattoo
The shading in this piece is really something! The dark shadows between the rose and the snake keep the design from looking too busy. The artist did a wonderful job here.

A Hypnotizing Snake Tattoo
This piece is a fusion of blackwork and minimal styles. The artist created a dazzling pattern as the snake twists and shows its scales and underbelly. The layout of how the snake is slithering is also super silky.

An Ouroboros Knee Tattoo
The ouroboros is a mythical representation of a snake eating itself, which represents both eternity and the cycle of life and death.
Typically I don’t like these ouroboros tattoos, but this artist did a really nice job making the snake look believable. Plus the placement around the knee is sick.

A Small and Simple Snake Tattoo
There’s nothing about this tattoo that I don’t like. The detail is awesome, the diagonal placement along the arm, plus how it fits within the inner-bicep area all look great. Super job on this minimalist piece. 👍🎉

A Unique Minimal Snake Tattoo
If you want a snake tattoo that stands out from everyone else’s, then an idea like this one would be a good idea.
What makes this so cool is its black and red sphere – this colorful contrast plays so well with the super minimal, snake. Beautiful simplicity.

Men’s Big Back Snake Tattoo
According to some African cultures, ancestors transform into serpents when they die so their wisdom can serve future generations. You’ll see this idea reflected in many African masks, which depict human faces with serpentine features.
