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.

Ankle tattoos are subtle and easy to conceal with socks or footwear. The small canvas works best with compact designs, bands, or wrapping patterns that follow the joint's shape.
