This unique approach maintains the appearance of works in progress, with visible sketch lines, cross-hatching, and deliberate imperfections that give each piece authentic artistic character. Artists sometimes apply this technique to classic subjects like rose compositions for a fresh, unfinished look.

Using lines of varying thickness to define shape and depth, linework tattoos achieve expression through economy. The absence of shading keeps the focus on the quality and flow of each stroke.

Forearm tattoos benefit from a natural canvas that follows the arm's long shape. Designs can wrap around the arm or sit on the inner or outer surface, giving flexibility in how the tattoo is displayed.
