This hand tattoo from the Ghostship Shop in Liverpool features three crossed swords arranged in a fan formation at the centre of the piece, their tips pointing downward while the hilts radiate upward toward a starburst of light rays. Flanking the blades are two birds in flight — a smaller songbird with wings spread wide on the left, and a larger eagle with talons extended and wings open on the right, both rendered with careful feather detail and a strong sense of movement.

The whole piece is worked in black and grey using fine linework and smooth gradient shading to give the composition real depth and dimension. A soft shaded background sits behind the central arrangement, adding contrast and pulling the eye toward the detail in the birds and swords. Visible extending up toward the wrist is a separate sleeve in progress, featuring large roses and clouds, hinting that this hand tattoo forms part of a broader cohesive sleeve project.
