Stylized ram skull with large curving horns, a red Aries zodiac symbol, red flames, and a spear-like object.

A stylized ram’s head that, at first glance, looks like a flickering flame. The horns spiral upward and outward, forming the classic Aries glyph (♈︎) once the eye follows the negative space between them. b. Composition Flow • Base: a short, broken spear-head (Mars’ weapon) pointing downward—anchoring the design at the wrist, ankle, or shoulder cap. • Mid: the ram’s skull emerges from the spear, its horns turning into twin tongues of fire that curl into the ♈︎ symbol. • Crown: a small red planet Mars sigil (♂) nested where the horns cross, like an ember in the fire. c. Style & Line Work • Neo-traditional blackwork with fine-line accents. • Horns: heavy black outer edges, inner flame filigree drawn with single-needle scarlet ink, giving an internal glow. • Negative-space smoke wisps rise off the flames, evoking motion without extra color. d. Color Palette (optional) • Deep iron oxide red (Mars) for the glyph and planet mark. • Charcoal-to-black gradients for the ram’s skull. • Subtle white highlights to suggest hot metal edges. e. Placement Suggestions • Outer forearm: spear tip points toward hand—energy “launched” into action. • Calf: wrap the horns around the muscle so the glyph sits on the shin bone—looks like armor. • Behind ear (miniature): just the glyph-shaped horns with a single red ember—whisper of Aries fire.
