Tattoo of two tesserae jellyfish with tentacles and text on skin.

Option A: Tesserae Jellyfish Style: Fine-line or watercolor mosaic, subtle fragmentation Placement: Outer forearm (vertical), shoulder blade, or upper arm (angled) Design: • Two jellyfish constructed from tiny tesserae tiles—glass, shell, stone-like shapes forming their bells. • The tiles are not uniform: different textures, colors, and even cracks show imperfection but also artistry. • The tentacles flow smoothly but also hint at being stitched or loosely woven from fragments—threadlike lines, tile shards, and curves. • The quote “built from borrowed pieces” is written: • Underneath the jellyfish in a gentle arc, or • In the gaps between tesserae, subtly forming part of the jellyfish itself, like hidden truth inside the form.
