Style experiment
Ignorant demon / oni tattoo
The shadow acknowledged. Japanese oni masks ward off evil by wearing its face; Western demons explore darkness on the wearer's own terms. In Ignorant, that reads as: deliberately badly good.

Anti-style: shaky lines, deadpan stick figures, one-liner jokes in ink. Ignorant style grew from Parisian graffiti and refuses polish on purpose — the charm is the attitude. Simple to execute, painful to fake; the humour has to land.
A demon / oni carries protection through fear, inner shadow, rebellion — and Ignorant's anti-polish give that symbolism its voice. Placement matters too: this subject flows best on the calf, thigh, upper arm / bicep.
