Style experiment
Ignorant grim reaper tattoo
Death as a companion rather than an enemy. The reaper is blackwork's natural subject — all cloak, scythe and silhouette. 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 grim reaper carries mortality faced, fearlessness, endings and beginnings — and Ignorant's anti-polish give that symbolism its voice. Placement matters too: this subject flows best on the calf, thigh, back.
