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.

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 inner arm offers a soft, relatively flat surface that suits detailed and sensitive designs. It's a semi-private placement, visible only when the arm is turned or raised.
