Neo-traditional tattoo illustration of a King Cobra coiled around a bonsai tree with cherry blossoms.

Design a bold, neo-traditional tattoo that merges American and Japanese tattoo styles. The focal point is a majestic King Cobra, rendered in classic American traditional style—thick black outlines, vibrant reds, yellows, and greens—coiled dynamically around a meticulously detailed Japanese bonsai tree. The bonsai should reflect traditional Japanese Irezumi elements, with delicate black shading, fine linework for the bark, and subtle color gradients for the foliage. The snake's body should weave naturally through the branches, creating a sense of movement and tension. Add ornamental elements like wind bars (Japanese kaze-no-ippon-suji) or cherry blossoms falling in the background to enhance the fusion of styles. The composition should be balanced, with the cobra’s hood flared dramatically near the tree’s apex for maximum visual impact. Keep the contrast high for a striking, timeless tattoo aesthetic See more
