The eight-spoked symmetry mirrors ancient protective compass staves, signifying personal guidance, balance, and the cyclical transition of life's seasons.

Collector's Choice

Resonating with collectors who identify with its themes of resilience, individuality, protection, clarity, this piece appeals particularly as a men and women design for individuals seeking deep personal narrative.

Placement & Scale

Anatomical optimization suggests WRIST (Compact radial shape fits the flat surface of the inner wrist), ANKLE (Symmetrical design serves as a clean accent above the ankle bone), UPPER BACK (Centralized geometry aligns naturally with the spine).

Longevity Prediction

Due to the bold, solid black lines and generous negative space between the spokes, this tattoo will age exceptionally well. Over 5-10 years, the ink will spread slightly, softening the edges of the circular tips, but the overall contrast and geometric shape will remain highly legible.

Technical Spec

Professional specialization notes: Use a steady hand with a 9RL to keep the linework consistent and prevent shakiness on the intersecting axes. Ensure the circular tips are packed solidly using a tight 7RS, leaving no holidays, and maintain precise equal spacing to preserve the geometric symmetry.
