Looking for ideas to balance out a slightly crooked crown
Hey everyone, I’m looking for specific suggestions for what I could add around this crown to make the overall design look more balanced.
The two things that stand out to me are that the bottom of the crown looks slightly slanted, and the tip seems to sit a little closer to one side of my chest than the other. Together, it makes the crown look like it’s rotated a couple degrees to one side.
I’m specifically looking for tattoo/design advice on how I could rework or add to the piece to make the asymmetry less noticeable. I’d really appreciate any creative ideas for elements that could be incorporated around the crown to balance it out or make the placement look intentional.
The tattoo was done in May and is fully healed. I honestly didn’t notice the placement issue until I got home. It looked much more balanced in the shop, so I don’t blame the artist. They took a photo with a ring light and it looked great, and I also checked it in the mirrors before leaving. I was mainly focused on making sure I liked the sizing during the stencil placement, so the slight rotation slipped past me. The artist did mention that it wouldn’t be perfectly symmetrical, and I gave the go-ahead thinking the difference would be minor.
For context, I’m standing completely straight in the video. I’m not trying to diagnose the cause of the appearance—I’m just trying to figure out the best way to work with the tattoo I already have.
I also mirrored the photo/video so that the left side of my body appears on the left side of the screen.
What would you add around this crown to make the overall composition look more balanced and intentional?
EDIT: Thank you everyone for the great ideas! I didn't expect so many people to interact with my post, but I really appreciate the help. I'll have my tattoo artist render a few examples of my favorites from here: more jewels, a darker backdrop that fades as it goes up, chess pieces on the sides, or a new thought I had—angel wings on the sides.
