Army Tattoo Photo #22634

For some people it's a proud "chapter marker," for others it's a quiet memorial. The strongest designs are specific: they reflect a real story, a place, a date, or values that were earned.

Sketch-style tattoos replicate the look of pencil or pen drawings, often including visible construction lines and loose strokes. The intentionally unfinished quality gives the design an artistic, work-in-progress feel.

The shoulder's rounded shape gives tattoos a natural frame, wrapping designs around the deltoid muscle. It's a versatile placement that transitions easily into a sleeve or back piece.
