So, 666 tattoos — I know, hear me out before you panic. A lot of folks see that number and immediately think devil vibes, but if you flip the script and treat it like an angel number, it can actually be a gentle nudge to refocus and find balance. Either way, whether you're leaning into the edge or softening it up, there are so many ways to make it feel personal. I pulled together a bunch of design ideas to help you pick a direction — because yes, I know decision paralysis is real when you’re staring at a hundred tiny options.
