The designs of the box are good and seem accurate which is very good.. The blades around the circle opening for me are too much. Sometimes a piece is better when you take something away.

I hope this doesn't sound too harsh. If you do end up tattooing it on you I think it needs to be as close to perfect as you can get.
I completely agree. That's what I told him, I am paying homage and I want it right. That said, when the chains come out of the box, it opens in that pattern, I know they look like blades but they are actually the circle in the top of the box opening. I thought the same thing about those less defined areas, but then he told me that those are actually where the hooks are hooked through the flesh. Once he gets it on and shades it appropriately it will look raised in those areas. He did make it a point to say that it wont look exactly right until its run through the computer.

Pictures below show the hook design I'm going for and the box open.
