Tattoo Design Brief
Arm tattoo for men
I am looking for a black tattoo that blends realism and graphic elements, inspired by the principles of Stoicism. The design should be aesthetic, meaningful, and powerful, while maintaining a cohesive composition.
🔹 Style: Realistic with a graphic touch, strong contrast (deep shading, fine details).
🔹 Size & Placement: Forearm (vertical or slightly wrapped).
🔹 Key Features: A harmonious mix of symbols
I want the design to feel timeless and philosophical, with an elegant yet bold composition. The placement should allow the elements to flow naturally together. If quotes are added they should be subtly integrated, either carved into the design or blended in a seamless way.
Please ensure the symbols remain true to Stoic philosophy and that the design is not overcrowded, keeping a balance between detail and readability.
If it makes sense in the overall design, I would love to have my daugther's birthday written somewhere "12.08.2018" or the coordinate of the hospital she was born: Longitude: 2.287592 Lattitude: 48.862725
Updates
After a discussion with DesignCrowd we decided to push the deadline due to a lack of quality work overall.
We are looking for a tattoo to cover the arm. Make 2 or 3 big designs and stretch them to cover the arm will not work. I like text but keep in mind that for a tattoo to see the details and lot of text it has to be very big and this is NOT what I am looking for.
I like to have the tattoo start on the shoulder but it should not cover the whole skin or have too much details in it.
I am asking for originality and I will not select a midjourney image to win this contest.
I do not want to have very obvious symbols:
PAWN, HEART, BRAIN, ETC
Thank you

The designer needs more time to finish the retakes.
