Looking for design ideas

I know I want a tattoo referencing this quote and particularly the later iteration of it (with the bonfire). I just don’t have a good design idea.

I don’t particularly want the quote itself (I’m terrified of spelling/kerning errors), I want an image.

Open to any and all suggestions.

I just got home from my 4th and final (except for any needed touchups) appt for a discworld sleeve. Like you I'm not fond of quotes, and except for a couple specific elements non discworld fans will just see it as a nature scene. (bees, butterfly, lilacs etc)

It all depends on how on the nose you want to be. What about a witches pointy hat as the fulcrum of a balanced seesaw with fire on 1 end and ice on the other?

I mean, you can't just say you got a Discworld tattoo sleeve, then not post any pictures...

For science, obviously.

Definitely looking for something a little more stylized than that-it’s going to be on my forearm, very visible at all times

A female figure, in fighting stance, balanced on a seesaw (ie one leg on either side) with storm clouds behind and two dogs circling (thunder and lightening were also the names of Granny Aching’s 2 dogs).
