Moon Goddess, blackwork tattoo flash design

This design merges a robed female figure with a full moon halo, an ornate clock face marked in Roman numerals, and zodiac symbols, framed in a gothic archway. It reads as a meditation on time, fate and feminine divinity, drawing loosely on tarot imagery like the High Priestess or Star card and astrological tradition. The seated silhouette below suggests contemplation or worship, though the exact narrative is left open to interpretation rather than tied to one specific myth.

Where it sits

The tall arched shape with a clear top-to-bottom hierarchy suits the spine, the centre of the back, or the length of a thigh or forearm. It needs vertical space to keep the clock, figure and tree line legible; compressing it into a rounder area like the shoulder cap would crowd the roman numerals and zodiac glyphs. A back piece or full sleeve panel would preserve the fine linework best.

Making it yours

Ask an artist for any of these.

  • Drop the roman numeral clock ring and keep just the moon halo
  • Add colour to the moon, such as pale blue or silver tones
  • Simplify the zodiac constellations to just one or two star signs
  • Remove the seated silhouette figure to focus on the goddess alone
  • Scale down to a forearm piece by cropping the tree line
