Can you give me your opinion on possible tattoo designs?
I'm cosidering one of these three as the possible design for my first tattoo. I'd like any feedback you guys might have to offer regarding which one I should go with. Si, here goes:
1. The "paradox" as that I consider myself one, of the Christian symbol of the lion and the lamb. It would be a lion and a lamb lying side by side, with an ancient symbol for the soul in the background. This would not only represent Christ as both a strong. power man and a gentle, humble soul, but also my own view of myself as a human paradox.

2. Think of the medical symbol which entails a snake wrapped around a rod. Well, this would be a snake wrapped around a large nail (like a railroad spike) with it's head reaching in vain for an apple sitting on the head of the nail. I may of may not have the snakes tail being impaled by the nail. Again, the symbolism is very much Christian in nature. The snake and the apple are from the tale of the garden of Eden and the nail would be representative of the nails used to hang Christ to the cross. The fact that the snake cannot succeed in his quest shows the triumph of Jesus over death and sin.
On another note, this would look pretty bad ***, lol.

3. Think of a tree in winter, bare with no leaves at all. it would be a tree like this curled over at the top. This would be on the right while on the left, under the curl of the tree, would be an image of a crescent moon. No real specific meaning here other than that fact that I do have something of a fascination with nighttime and darkness.

Any feedback would be great!
