Full leg tattoo design, black and white, realistic and highly detailed. The composition should express both fierceness and calmness, combining power and inner peace. Include two main symbols: a raven (representing wisdom, mystery, and strategy) and a bull (symbolizing strength, courage, and determination). The design should consist of large, connected elements, flowing naturally along the leg, with dynamic contrasts of light and shadow. The overall style should be realistic, with fine shading, smooth transitions, and an artistic balance between dark and calm areas. Avoid cartoon or minimalistic styles. Focus on bold, warrior-like energy and calm, composed balance.

"A vertically aligned, black and grey minimalist tattoo design, starting from the top: Sasuke Uchiha's Mangekyō Sharingan (red ink); below it, a realistic vintage-style balance scale with clean, symmetrical chains; the left pan holds an anatomically correct brain, the right pan holds a realistic heart — both properly seated inside the pans. Behind the scale is the Wings of Freedom emblem from Attack on Titan, lightly faded in the background. Below that is the word 'BALANCE' in clean serif font. Under the text, a properly sized and centered orange 4-star Dragon Ball, clearly showing all four stars. At the bottom of the composition are two betta fish in a yin-yang formation — one white with a blue eye (inspired by Gojo), one black with a purple tint (inspired by Geto). The overall tattoo uses fine line shading, subtle detailing, and soft red, blue, purple, and orange accent colors while maintaining a clean, minimalistic forearm tattoo style.
