Tattoo design for the right pectoral (chest), black ink only, no color, realistic tattoo style. Symmetrical composition centered on a single vertical axis. CONSTELLATION: The constellation of Cygnus (the Swan), using ONLY the real stars that make up this constellation, no decorative or additional stars added anywhere in the design. The constellation is incomplete: some of its stars remain isolated, with no connecting line between them. STAR RENDERING: Each star is rendered not as a soft round point of light, but as a sharp angular shard or crack, like a fragment of shattered glass, jagged edges, high contrast, aggressive linework, cold and hard in feeling. BROKEN LINES: Where a connecting line exists between two stars, it is broken into a few jagged fractured segments, like a cleanly snapped bone. Critically, the segments align edge to edge so that, put back together, they reconstruct the exact original unbroken line. This is NOT a dotted line or evenly spaced dashes with gaps of missing material, it is one broken line whose pieces still add up to the whole. TEXT: Positioned above the constellation, close but not touching or merging with its lines, the text "Ad Astra Per Aspera" rendered in a modern sans-serif display typeface with sharp, precise curves, minimalist and elegant, in the spirit of a refined display font such as Galleds Stars. The sharpness of the letterforms should echo the angular fractured quality of stars below it. Prioritize correct spelling and legibility above decorative flourish. STYLE: Realistic tattoo linework throughout the piece. Pure black ink only, no grayscale color washes beyond black shading, no color anywhere in the design. Negative prompt: color, bright colors, cartoonish, cute, extra stars, decorative stars, additional stars beyond the real Cygnus constellation, dotted lines, evenly spaced dashes, gaps with missing line material, soft rounded glowing stars, asymmetrical composition, gore, literal bone imagery, skeletal texture

CONSTELLATION: The constellation of Cygnus (the Swan), using ONLY the real stars that make up this constellation, no decorative or additional stars added anywhere in the design. Incomplete: some stars remain isolated, with no connecting line between them. STAR RENDERING: Each star rendered not as a soft round point of light, but as a sharp angular shard, like a fragment of shattered glass, jagged edges, high contrast, aggressive linework, cold and hard in feeling. BROKEN LINES: Where a connecting line exists between two stars, it is NOT a flat 2D line. It is a solid three-dimensional fractured rod or shard, with real thickness, depth and faceted broken surfaces, like a snapped piece of glass rendered in relief on the skin. This rod is broken into a few jagged segments, like a cleanly snapped bone. The segments align edge to edge so that, put back together, they reconstruct the original straight rod. NOT a dotted line or evenly spaced dashes with gaps of missing material, it is one broken 3-D form whose pieces add up to the whole. TEXT: Above the constellation, close but not touching its lines, the text "Ad Astra Per Aspera" in a modern sans-serif display typeface with sharp, precise curves, minimalist and elegant, in the spirit of a font such as Galleds Stars. Letterform sharpness echoes the fractured stars below. Prioritize correct spelling and legibility above decorative flourish. STYLE: Realistic tattoo linework, with strong shading giving the fractured rod segments a sculptural, three-dimensional presence rather than flat outlines. Pure black ink only, no color anywhere. Negative prompt: color, cartoonish, extra decorative stars, flat 2D lines, dotted lines, evenly spaced dashes, gaps with missing material, soft round glowing stars, asymmetrical composition, gore, literal bone imagery, skeletal texture
