Griffin symbolism in mythology The griffin is a mythical creature combining the body of a lion with the head and wings of an eagle. It represents power, protection, and vigilance-the lion's strength paired with the eagle's keen vision.

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.
