- *Ornate sword*: A highly decorative sword featuring intricate scrollwork and floral elements along the blade and hilt. - *Vine-wrapped sword*: A sword with a vine and thorny branches entwined around its handle and part of the blade, with leaves. - *Scales of justice sword*: A sword integrated with a set of scales, one pan holding a crescent moon with a face, and the other holding a sun with a face. - *Snake*: A stylized, minimalist black line drawing of a snake coiled and unfurling vertically. The snake's body is depicted with fluid, continuous lines, suggesting movement and grace. Small, scattered black dots are used to represent texture or scale details along its form, particularly on the upper body. The head is subtly outlined, with a pointed snout. The overall design tapers towards the bottom, with thin, wispy lines and a few more scattered dots, giving the impression of dissipating smoke or an ethereal trail.

I need a design for a forearm tattoo. In the middle of the forearm there should be the sword Narsil. Next to it on the left side is Sauron's tower, and on the right side of the sword an inscription in elvish. On the top of the sword on the left side is Gollum or his head and on the right side is Gandalf's face. I would like this tattoo to be in the style of fine line.
