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.

Fine-line tattoos use a single thin needle to create delicate, precise designs with minimal line weight. The result is a subtle, almost sketch-like quality that suits detailed small-scale work.

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.
