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.

With thick black outlines and flat, saturated colors, traditional tattoos are built to last. The straightforward approach prioritizes readability and impact, making these designs recognizable from a distance.

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.
