"Untitled 2-3-71 [study for "tattoo" book]" is a 1971 ink drawing by American artist James McCracken Jr. (1942-2017). The drawing features a series of abstract, organic shapes, possibly inspired by tattoos. These shapes evoke a sense of fluidity and movement. The drawing is likely a study for McCracken's "Tattoo" book, a collection of his work that explored the relationship between art and the human body.
