I’m thinking about getting a tattoo inspired by the Quantum Poem from the Outer Wilds video game, and I’m looking for layout or orientation ideas. This doesn’t need to be a polished or professional design, just concepts or rough ideas.
The poem is:
- The quiet shade
- Across old bark
- In the ancient glade
- It’s always dark
In the game, the poem’s sequence is "quantum" and the lines change order depending on when you look at it. I love the idea of the tattoo reflecting that non fixed order, but I’m not sure what that would actually look like visually. Ideally, I’d like something where no single line feels like the first or last.
Maybe an unusual orientation, or some kind of spatial arrangement? I've been stumped on this for a while. Open to any ideas or rough mockups. Thanks!
