The shark represents fearlessness, adaptability, and respect for forces greater than ourselves. Polynesian cultures revere the shark as a guardian spirit, while Western tattoo traditions focus on the animal's dramatic silhouette and predatory power.

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.
