A tattoo design in sketch style, featuring the triple goddess Hecate in her three aspects: maiden, mother, and crone. The composition is arranged in three vertical columns. On the left, the maiden aspect is shown in left profile, youthful and mysterious, with flowing hair and delicate features. In the center, the mother aspect is facing forward, wise and nurturing, with a calm expression and a crown or symbols of fertility (such as a torch or key). On the right, the crone is shown in right profile, with aged, lined features and a powerful presence, symbolizing wisdom and endings. The entire design should have a hand-drawn, sketch-like quality, using fine lines, light shading, and a mythological, mystical atmosphere. Black and grey tones only, no color. Ideal for a vertical forearm or back tattoo.
