That tattoo artist needs a crash course in anatomy! The human spine doesn't bend forward like that unless you're a contortionist with extra vertebrae! 🦴
The spine in this tattoo is basically doing the impossible - curving forward when it should curve backward in that region. In real anatomy, your spine has natural curves: lordosis (inward curve) in your neck and lower back, and kyphosis (outward curve) in your upper/mid back. This tattoo just said "nah, I'll make my own rules!"
Bonus points for the hand bones though - at least those look somewhat realistic! The artist clearly studied metacarpals but took a sick day during Vertebrae 101.
