About this design

What the design shows

A gold five-cross Jerusalem emblem fills the center of a deep blue circular field. The large cross has flared squared ends, while four smaller gold crosses sit evenly in the surrounding blue corners. A double gold ring encloses the roundel and opens into small pointed ornaments at the top, bottom, left, and right. Red oval jewels appear at those four cardinal points, with tiny red leaf-shaped decorations repeating around the blue border. The outer ring has short gold curls that make the circle feel like a compact medal rather than a plain disk. Black outlines separate the yellow gold, blue field, and red stones. In the on-skin preview, it is thumbnail-sized on the upper arm, with the top jewel directed toward the shoulder.

Placement

Placement and size

The small roundel sits high on the outer upper arm, with its top red jewel facing the shoulder and the lower point facing the elbow. It also fits the wrist, ankle, collarbone end, or behind the ear at thumbnail scale. Keep the circle true rather than stretching it along the arm. If it is reduced further, simplify the tiny red leaf ornaments before losing the five-cross arrangement.

Patchwork

Building it into a patchwork

This is a small but saturated badge with strong blue, gold, and red contrast. It can fill a quiet gap beside a larger cross, flower, or insect without asking for a background. Keep other circular pieces farther away so the gold ring remains its own boundary. A little open skin around the four points lets the small red jewels and gold edge remain visible among larger colored tattoos.
