Style experiment
Sketch shark tattoo
The ocean's apex predator — traditional Polynesian shark teeth patterns carry protection, while realistic and traditional sharks carry pure momentum. In Sketch, that reads as: the artist's hand, unfinished on purpose.

Designs that look lifted straight from a sketchbook: construction lines left visible, hatching, raw pencil energy. Sketch style suits animals and portraits that want motion and looseness instead of polish — the unfinished quality is the finish.
A shark carries protection (polynesian), fearlessness, forward motion — and Sketch's hatching give that symbolism its voice. Placement matters too: this subject flows best on the calf, upper arm / bicep, ribs.
Same idea, other voices
Does shark work in Sketch?
It can, with care. Sketch (the artist's hand, unfinished on purpose.) brings a different attitude to the subject than its classic pairings — generate a few drafts in both and compare before committing.
