Depending on context, it can represent mourning for a lost loved one, time served in prison, or a personal experience with grief. The meaning shifts from wearer to wearer, and assumptions based on appearance alone are often wrong.

Minimalist tattoos use clean lines and open space to convey meaning with as few elements as possible. The restrained approach keeps the focus on shape and composition rather than detail.

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.
