About this design

This cross is structured to keep the scorpion as the visual hook, not a secondary accent. The body coils through the center axis, with segmented armor and claws locked into the cross arms. The silhouette stays clean even at smaller sizes, while the internal detail holds up when scaled larger.

Meaning & symbolism

The scorpion represents defense, survival, and controlled power. Combined with a cross, it reads as protection through strength rather than softness. This design suits people drawn to darker symbolism, resilience, and authority, without relying on religious softness or decorative excess.

Placement ideas

• Forearm – The vertical structure fits naturally along the arm, keeping the scorpion body readable edge to edge.
• Upper arm – Works well for bicep or tricep placement, giving the claws and tail room without distortion.
• Calf – Matches the elongated form and holds strong contrast in blackwork.
• Chest center – Symmetrical placement emphasizes the cross silhouette and scorpion dominance.
• Spine – Vertical alignment enhances the gothic presence and makes the scorpion feel commanding.
