Featureless head with gears turning inside of it, thinking of a complicated solution in his mind. The idea should flow out from his head, and should have thoughts represented as geometric circles connecting to other thoughts by thin lines. Size it to fit on a forearm, with the thoughts being larger than the head. The man should be stressed. Head should be black and white, while the thoughts should be in color.

The dominant and primary focus is two Yamaha R6/R1 headlights (2006-2012 model) — sharp, angular, aggressive dual-lens design, clearly recognizable as iconic motorcycle headlights. This is the hero element. A blue Japanese dragon, serpentine and slender like a snake, slithers through the gap between the two headlights from behind, creeping upward toward the neck. The dragon head is small, subtle and tucked behind or between the headlights — not dominant, not centered, just peeking. Dragon is a secondary symbolic element — headlights overpower it visually. Dragon body is deep blue with scales and claws. The small accent lights inside each headlight unit (position lights) emit a red glow — this red is part of the headlight design only. Symmetrical composition. White background. Upper back nape tattoo placement.
