Sugar Skulls and Dia de los Muertos The calavera, or decorated sugar skull, is the most iconic image from the Day of the Dead celebration held on November first and second. Far from morbid, the holiday honors departed loved ones with color, music, food, and joy.

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 inner arm offers a soft, relatively flat surface that suits detailed and sensitive designs. It's a semi-private placement, visible only when the arm is turned or raised.
