The eyes of the medusa should be open, white and illuminated. In the background I'm looking for something degraded like cloud or sunbeam to make it smooth. For the style, something realistic should be perfect to suit with the rest of my arm. I would like the face to look like a stone splitting slightly like the image in this project.")

Not immediately intimidating but rather soft and thoughtful. I’d like the snakes to also be falling from my arm as a back ground and maybe tie into the two pre-existing pieces I have onto my arm.
I will add references to the things I want and the two priors I have.
My two existing tattoos are a hand with cards and a skull surrounded by a heart and under are roses.")

I am open to ideas but I like a modern looking design. I like some of the geometrical designs. I like tattoos that have an almost pretty appeal yet are rugged. I don't mind color but isn't always necessary. I was thinking of a wrapping the words around the length of my forearm in rings or just continuous but also incorporating a uniqueness to it with some sort of design. I'm open to outside of the box ideas too!")
