Dagger Tattoo Ideas
The dagger is ambition, sacrifice, and the willingness to cut away what no longer serves. Paired with a rose it becomes a classic image of beauty and pain coexisting; through a skull it marks the passage through death.
Blackwork and bold illustrative styles suit its graphic, vertical form. It flows naturally along the forearm and shin.
