The tattoo depicts the Winged Victory of Samothrace, also known as Nike, a Hellenistic sculpture, in a black and white style. The figure is rendered with careful shading to suggest the drapery of the clothing and the form of the statue. The wings are also detailed with feathers. The design has a classic and elegant feel.
