Description: I guess I should just go ahead and submit another cool skull tutorial that also happens to be a tattoo design. I drew this sketch with every intention on making something that was cool, and interesting enough to want to draw. I think I have a fifty, fifty split here because I have a feeling that some may find this skull tattoo cool, and then again some will find this design uncool.
