Many people choose them as reminders of discipline and perseverance, or as memorials for a sailor or veteran. For others, the imagery stands for guidance, steady leadership, and the ability to stay calm through rough conditions.

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.
