Ignorant medusa tattoo
Reclaimed in recent years as a survivor's symbol: the woman punished for another's crime, turned monster, turned icon. Powerful in black and grey and blackwork. 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 medusa carries survival, reclaimed power, protection from evil — and Ignorant's anti-polish give that symbolism its voice. Placement matters too: this subject flows best on the thigh, upper arm / bicep, ribs.
