American Traditional Handshake Tattoo

This is a unique handshake design featuring a human hand from the left firmly grasping a snake with colorful scales extending from the right. The piece is characterized by bold outlines, vibrant color packing using solid colors like red, green, orange, and black, alongside classic shading techniques.
While a handshake traditionally symbolizes friendship and vows, the partner here is a snake—a classic symbol of betrayal. Combined with the accompanying "TRUST NO ONE" lettering, the tattoo conveys a deeply contradictory, dark, and ironic message.
