Tattoo idea for under current tattoo on arm

[Kumoku]

I'm actively debating about my Hodgkin's lymphoma tattoo idea.

My first idea: a purple horse, head shot mostly with a little bit of the neck. The mane would be a lime green color, incorporating the green for the lymphoma awareness and the purple for the Hodgkin's lymphoma awareness

Second idea: I'm thinking of steampunk DESIGN (no colors, just strictly design) clock with lime green clock hands and purple numbers on the clock, possibly purple outline for the clock.

Regardless of which tattoo design I got, I would have it be under my memorial butterfly lung cancer tattoo. I plan for my sleeve of that arm to be covered in different awareness ribbon type tattoos since I have so many things I want to raise awareness for. It'd be a medium size tattoo. My skin tone is a light-medium olive tone, so these colors would naturally be complimentary of my current skin tone. 

I have a butterfly wing tattoo with the blue cancer ribbon for lung cancer awareness acting as the butterfly body on my arm

Too much "meaning" for me, just get whatever you think looks cooler...

People who get one or two tattoos can give you a story about what they mean.People with lots of tattoos just like cool tattoos.

I see it differently. I have full sleeves, hands, chest and back each piece has extensive meaning. Spiritual, Sobriety, Health, Loss of family and music ties them as one.

I have/want both. I want a phoenix rising from its ashes to symbolize.. well.. you can rise from the ashes and burn bright.

 

But I also want a tropical sleeve cause I want it.

all my pieces are meaningful: my backpiece is the Buddhist protector of the heavenly musicians--I'm a musician.

on my calf I've got a minogame in autumn with water--a minogame symbolizes long life and happiness, and for me represents my mother.

If both the clock and horse accomplish the themes and meanings you're going for, I think sticking with the horse might give you more animal-y cohesiveness with your previous butterfly wings. Just one dude's opinion.

Any pics of your back piece?
I’m a musician as well and I’m curious to see this image.
