I know this is weird, but it's also quintessentially Mastodon, because I need to tap the minds of a strange mix of chaos magicians, crypto-wiccans, math nerds, autists, artists, computer programmers, conlang enthusiasts, and general muckrakers.
Does anybody know of a good way to generate your own "Magic Circles", sorta like the one below?
I am working on my next tattoo design and I want to convey a bunch of information, densely packed in a way I can understand it and explain it to people when I show it to them...
...but I also don't want to accidentally curse myself or bind my right arm to some ancient lost deity because it just so happens that I accidentally recreated their exact sigils and signs.
I've looked online and there are a few "generators" but they seem to be an equal mix of random garbage and broken jank.
Any recommendations for... programs I could use to map one out, I guess?

@thevhswizard@retro.pizza likely not what you're looking for, but it should be fairly straightforward to create one with a free and open-source tool like @inkscape@mastodon.art. a friend with such skills, or perhaps an internet volunteer, could probably help out. some tattoo artists could also happily include the design and drawing process in their service. as for the potential arcane risks, i really can't say. -just a tattooed nerd
