Style experiment
Ignorant wave tattoo
Hokusai's legacy in miniature: the ocean's power in a curl of ink. Waves flow naturally around wrists and ankles and anchor Japanese compositions. 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 wave carries nature's power, going with the flow, the ocean as home — and Ignorant's anti-polish give that symbolism its voice. Placement matters too: this subject flows best on the wrist, ankle, forearm.
Same idea, other voices
Does wave 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.
