This Libra design reimagines the zodiac's classical symbolism through a digital lens. The fragmented bust of the Libra figure appears fractured by digital corruption, with overlapping cyan, magenta, and yellow layers creating a vibrant CMYK color shift effect. The glitch distortion symbolizes modern disruption of traditional balance concepts while honoring the sign's judicial roots. Intricate line work defines the classical bust's features before dissolving into pixelated fragments. The color layering technique requires precise needle control to maintain the digital distortion illusion. Ideal for upper arm or chest placements where the color transitions flow with body contours. Works best at 4x4 inches to showcase the glitch details without losing the bust's recognizable form. This piece bridges ancient symbolism and contemporary digital culture for tech-savvy wearers.
Noticeable discomfort, prepare for some sensitivity
Expect moderate discomfort on outer forearm (25/100) with brief stinging during color packing. The intricate glitch lines increase pain slightly (+10) due to slow, precise work. Upper back sessions (40/100) feel more like pressure than sharp pain. Breathe deeply during color sections and take 5-minute breaks hourly. Topical numbing is recommended for the CMYK layering process. The design requires multiple passes, so plan for two sessions to manage discomfort.
The fragmented bust design flows best on flat or gently curved surfaces. Outer forearm placements (25 pain score) allow the color layers to wrap naturally around the arm while maintaining visibility. Upper back placements (40 pain score) provide ample space for the glitch details, with the spine creating a vertical axis for the distortion effect. Shoulder placements (35 pain score) offer high visibility but require minimum 3x3 inch sizing to prevent joint distortion. Avoid bony areas like ribs due to pain and detail loss. Ideal size is 4x4 inches to showcase the CMYK color transitions without compromising the bust's form.
