Masks have fascinated humans for millennia because they sit at the intersection of identity and illusion, revealing as much as they conceal. As body art, a mask design raises questions about who we are underneath, who we perform as in public, and whether the difference between the two even matters.

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.
