Skull Snake Embroidery Design, Halloween Tattoo Style Red Blue Pattern

Pulled together this skull and snake design and it leans hard into old school tattoo flash. The cream bone skull faces straight ahead with hollow black eye sockets and a wide cracked smile across the teeth. A snake coils around the whole thing, blue body wrapping the cranium, red banding flashing through the loops, head reared up to one side with fangs bared and a forked tongue flicking out.

The shading on the skull bone is whats holding this together for me. The artist did proper directional stitching to follow the curve of the cranium so the satin lays right on top of the underlay. Theres about 8 thousand black stitches just doing the deep cracks and the inside of the eye sockets which keeps em looking properly hollow not flat.

I get orders for this from biker shops and tattoo studios doing their own merch. A customer wrote me last month about stitching it onto leather vest backs after pre punching the holes and she said it ages real nice on the leather. Cant tell ya how many people ask if she sells the designs herself, she always sends em my way.

5 sizes from 2.35 inches wide up to 5 inches wide, sizing here is taller than wide because of the snake tail dangling down. Smallest works as a chest pocket piece, biggest centred on a vest back. Dont go below 3 inches because the snake scale detail collapses.

Stitch on heavy cotton, canvas, leather patch backing, or denim. Skip jersey knit, alot of pull on the dense black bands. Use cutaway stabiliser hooped tight and let the machine rest mid color change so the bobbin tension stays steady.
