Majestic Owl: Flight of Wisdom

Create a stunning, photorealistic tattoo design for the upper back featuring a majestic owl in mid-flight, wings fully spread. The owl's wingspan should stretch from shoulder blade to shoulder blade, with its body centered on the spine. Capture intricate feather details, emphasizing the varied textures of flight and contour feathers. The owl's piercing yellow eyes should convey wisdom and intensity. Incorporate a fading effect at the wingtips, transitioning into a scatter of individual feathers. Use a rich color palette of deep browns, golds, and subtle greys for the owl, set against a background of soft, misty blue-greys to create depth. Include delicate touches of white to highlight key features. Seamlessly blend the design with the natural contours of the upper back, creating a 3D illusion of the owl emerging from the skin. Add subtle hints of moonlight glinting off the feathers for a mystical, nocturnal atmosphere. This tattoo should embody strength, freedom, and ancient wisdom, with a touch of Celtic-inspired knotwork subtly woven into the owl's chest feathers.
