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.

Minimalist tattoos use clean lines and open space to convey meaning with as few elements as possible. The restrained approach keeps the focus on shape and composition rather than detail.

The upper arm is a classic tattoo placement with enough space for medium to large designs. It's easy to cover with a short sleeve and serves as a natural starting point for a half or full sleeve.
