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
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.
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
This is a chain of amino acids - Each amino acid is symbolized by a letter and when the chain is linked together it spells out starstuff (real nerdy i guess)
Thanks - most people who have this tattoo (which isnt many) have the colored one which is more of a rendered piece of art based on the amino chain - i kinda like the bottom one because it is more genuine and im a bigger fan of black and white - my concern more than anything is the lettering
Looking to get a science themed tattoo and came across these designs for the forearm - which would look better in that space and survive better long term?
