People often choose it to represent grief, loss, farewell, or the end of something significant. But it can also symbolize strength through darkness, or a love that endures-sometimes paired with an angel for a memorial tone.

Abstract tattoos break away from literal representation, using shapes, colors, and unconventional compositions to create expressive, non-figurative designs. The style prioritizes feeling and movement over realism.

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.
