Skulls

Black & Gray Realism

Artist: David “Stani” Staniforth

Explore black and gray realism skull tattoos by Stani, featuring detailed anatomy, dramatic shading, and bold compositions that give this classic subject matter a distinctive edge.

From skulls paired with roses and ornamental elements to darker, macabre imagery, Stani uses texture, contrast, and realistic detail to create pieces with depth and character. Each design transforms familiar skull imagery into a striking tattoo built around the individual concept and placement.
