Style experiment
Sketch skull tattoo
Memento mori — remember you will die, so live. The skull is tattooing's oldest philosophical statement, from sailor flash to hyperreal black and grey. 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 skull carries mortality accepted, rebellion, protection — and Sketch's hatching give that symbolism its voice. Placement matters too: this subject flows best on the upper arm / bicep, chest, calf.
Same idea, other voices
Does skull 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.
