Have you ever noticed that snakes are one of the most common creatures in folklore symbolism? From religious themes to drugstore signage to awesome tattoos, Milan-based tattoo artist Mirko Sata puts his personal touch to them all.
Mirko specializes in intricate snake tattoos, and he’s at his best when he uses just black and white ink to create these styled serpentines. The use of two contrasting hues in the palette heightens the contrast while giving it a distinct character.
