Love the pointilism / dotwork look - thinking of getting this lotus above the elbow - opinions?

I know arrow tattoos are cliche to say the least by are they more popular on the inner or outer forearm?

Been playing with a bunch of ideas- This is the latest to go along the outer forearm - The phrase is French for "checkmate"

Thanks - Devious, you didn't mix anything up - it is a king in the pic but i might switch it to a queen - i hear what you are saying about the muted shadow which is whi i would most likely use a white pawn (just outline) to offset the shadow

or this one

This is the other design i was playing around with - The pawn defeating the King

The tattoo is going to be half chess / half symbolic pretty much like Devious described - My original thought was to have a queen in the shadow because the pawn strives to be promoted in the game, usually to a queen.

Avid chess player - Wanted opinions on this design for a tattoo as well as suggestions for the best placement - Thanks

Has to be somewhat feminine - Do you think because of the spread of the elements inside the circle it can turned into a "tree of life" design?

how about leaving the blue circle and reworking the phoenix into something else? any ideas?

My wife is looking to cover up / change the phoenix inside the circle - Looking for nice ideas or suggestions

Just got this one last night - Fibonacci design - measured out to perfect squares

What are the perceptions of ankle tattoos on men?

I like that you knew the scientist behind the phrase!

I spoke with the artist and it has come down to these two designs - i just have to figure out which would look best and which would best stand over time
