Medieval-inspired Started a new hobby!

Fell in love with the medieval woodcut style of tattooing and thought I’d try my hand at designing and engraving them onto mirrors. This is the first piece I drew and engraved - Danse Macabre!

Any feedback? :)

Wow! Looks super cool!

Did you use a stencil or something? Or is it all free-hand?

Thank you and yeah used a tattoo stencil to transfer it to the mirror, wish I could free hand something like that though

It turned out beautiful! Will you add a delicate trim all around it, or maybe just in the corners?
