Soldier Tattoo Photo #12154

The imagery draws on centuries of martial tradition, from Roman legionary marks to modern dog tag designs. Whether worn by veterans or family members, these tattoos carry deep personal weight.

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.
