I need a tattoo for one of my manga characters. It's Fiona, the one you can see standing in front of a giant orchid on
telophase's LJ.
telophase gave her a heart tattoo on her hip. I love the idea of a sexy little tattoo on her hip, but I don't want a heart for various reasons, some spoilery.
1. The tattoo must be a single simple image which is easy to see and identify.
2. The character is a sexy, cosmopolitan young woman. She's smart, athletic, and has traveled the world-- and she could have gotten her tattoo just about anywhere, though I don't want to do a kanji or anything else that's going to make her look like a wannabe Japanophile. She's sort of a Trickster character. Irish heritage-- I thought of a Celtic knot, but that might be too intricate and hard to see.
Ideas?
ETA: I am leaning toward a compass rose. I don't want to use an orchid or other type of realistic flower because there's so much flower symbolism shedding petals throughout the manga already.
