Pretty hard to find a source for these in the States, but Tattoo Flash Books (http://www.tattooflashbooks.com) is a reliable source for these bad boys, and as I’ve personally ordered from them several times, I can tell you the service is great and the shipping is fast. (and we thank them for the pics!)

Kore Flatmo created the 18 Angles of the Human Skull as a set of original watercolor paintings for tattooists and artists to use as reference and source material when interpreting the human skull.







The skulls have been simplified both in position and illustration, the shading shows the features considered basic to the form, and the poses are those that are most useful.







This is a fantastic reference resource available at http://www.plurabella.com.
