For some it honors military or family history; for others it's a pop-culture reference. Because the imagery is sensitive, the design should read as art-not a threat or gang signal.

Forearm tattoos benefit from a natural canvas that follows the arm's long shape. Designs can wrap around the arm or sit on the inner or outer surface, giving flexibility in how the tattoo is displayed.
