Style experiment
Ignorant hummingbird tattoo
Joy at 50 wingbeats per second. The hummingbird is watercolor's signature subject — motion, colour and lightness in a small, placement-friendly package. 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 hummingbird carries joy, lightness of being, resilience — and Ignorant's anti-polish give that symbolism its voice. Placement matters too: this subject flows best on the shoulder, wrist, ribs.
Same idea, other voices
Does hummingbird work in Ignorant?
