Friendship Tattoo Photo #11706

Friendship tattoos work in two main ways: matching designs (the same symbol on both people) or complementary designs (two parts that make sense together). Complementary tattoos are often easier to keep subtle and personal, especially if you want something that does not look like a "trend.

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 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.
