Key characteristics include interlaced knotwork where lines weave over and under each other without beginning or end, spirals, and stylized animals or figures. Authentic Celtic design has mathematical precision-the weaving follows consistent rules.

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 thigh offers one of the body's largest flat surfaces, making it ideal for detailed, large-scale tattoos. The area is easy to conceal and generally comfortable during the tattoo process.
