Based on Hojakdo, a traditional Korean folk painting theme of a magpie and tiger.

In this theme, the tiger carries a protective presence, but is often shown with a humorous and human-like expression.

The magpie brings a lighter movement to the scene, often associated with good news and auspicious energy.

I adjusted the size and flow to sit naturally beside the existing tattoos, using soft black shading and simple lines to keep the feeling close to old Korean folk painting.
