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.

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.
