Style experiment
Ignorant octopus tattoo
Eight arms of compositional freedom — the octopus wraps shoulders, climbs ribs and coils down forearms like no other subject. Intelligence and adaptability in ink. 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 octopus carries intelligence, adaptability, mystery of the deep — and Ignorant's anti-polish give that symbolism its voice. Placement matters too: this subject flows best on the shoulder, ribs, thigh.
Same idea, other voices
Does octopus work in Ignorant?
It can, with care. Ignorant (deliberately badly good.) brings a different attitude to the subject than its classic pairings — generate a few drafts in both and compare before committing.
