A swallowtail butterfly rendered in bold blackwork, wings spread wide and body dissolving into ink splatter — like the moment a bottle of ink hits the floor. Scattered music notes drift below the wings, small and loose, as if the butterfly shed them mid-flight.

The horizontal spread of the wings suits a shoulder blade, upper chest, or the back of the neck. The vertical drip and floating notes give it just enough height for a forearm or upper arm placement too. Dark, expressive, and slightly chaotic in the best way.
