Who it suits

This design is ideal for individuals who admire history, particularly the Roman Empire, and who identify with the values of strength, discipline, and leadership. The sketch’s detail and size make it best suited for larger areas; it would look impressive on the upper arm, allowing the full portrait to be showcased, or across the upper back, emphasizing the warrior’s imposing stature.
