It always depends on what the puzzle is haha!

Barely watch vs paying close attention?
That depends on the season of the year and how much I give a shit to even pay attention. I’m not an average viewer, I don’t watch religiously. I’m different. Those that watch religiously typically only watch the latest episodes. Not me.
When I bother actually watching, it’s usually either right after I came out of the restroom to banter my roommate before the solve, or when I’m trying to figure out how to un-glitch the animations of Vanna White on the game for Windows 3.11.
See, those that watch religiously don’t tend to go back and watch old episodes hardly ever. When I’m interested though, I definitely do watch both old and new shows.
The format of the show hasn’t changed much in a long time.

Good idea!
I wonder which letter set would statistically be more probable? 🤔

Nah, the letters on the board typically stay on the TV screen basically just as long as they did back in the 90’s. Believe me, I’ve been paying very close attention, as I’ve also been trying to debug the animations in one of their original PC video games in emulators.
I’ve really been paying attention, watching old episodes and newer episodes, the letter board time on screen might have changed a bit over the years, but not by much. It always cuts away when the contestant speaks, basically meaning almost nothing has changed on letter board timing.
My point is, in all fairness, the letter board should always be displayed in the corner of the broadcast screen, as the contestants always get to see the letter board.

You definitely make a good point. I hardly even watch the show, but somehow I manage to solve at least a quarter or so of the puzzles without paying much attention.
Which begs the question, when they broadcast the show, why don’t they leave the letters on the screen at all times in a corner rectangle for the viewers to see at all times?
The TV audience is at a bit of a disadvantage as the actual contestants on stage, at least the contestants get to see the letters at all times through the game…

While I tend to agree with most people here, simpler is better and fuck touchscreens in cars, but I do prefer to have a functioning AM/FM radio. It doesn’t have to be anything fancy, hell it doesn’t even need USB/MP3/CD player or anything else, but living in a hurricane prone area, I like to be able to get emergency news reports even in the event the cell towers go out.
Katrina was no fun yo, especially when we found out the hard way that a chunk of the eastbound Interstate 10 bridge had collapsed. We sure could have used a working radio to find stuff like that out…

You’re absolutely right. I don’t expect this to be easy, which is why I drew everything out by hand here. I wanted to get a sense of how difficult it might be for a true tattoo artist.
Going by other comments, plus my own experience, I think now it would be best as a temporary tattoo idea instead of a permanent one.

My actual watch band was a bit expensive, as a homemade build. Parts alone cost me like $70, but at least I have plenty spare materials to make more if anyone wants similar…

Indeed, that’s gonna be my first plan already anyways. I’m even planning on laminating early test prints myself with packing tape on both sides. I’m sure I can tile fit quite a few prints out on a single page, for only $1 a full page at our local print shop.
The question after that is, if people find the idea interesting enough, then maybe just maybe I might want to look into getting proper temporary tattoos printed out…

Curious I am now, trailing slash?
This wasn’t encoded with a trailing slash, nor does the scanner app I use decode it with a trailing slash.
I’m not sure, but if it is decoding with a trailing slash on your side, that might be your scanner app doing that automatically.
Formally speaking, coming from the dialup internet days, full proper URLs were meant to end in a trailing slash, and if you didn’t type the trailing slash in yourself, some web browsers would have to ping the site twice before it figured out it needed that trailing slash, slowing down website loading time.
I dunno, thank goodness the internet has evolved enough where www.time.gov can be simplified to time.gov
On my end, my web browser itself (Fennec, a fork of Firefox), put the trailing slash in on its own… 🤷

Thank you kindly for the advice 👍
After reading all the comments here, I think I’ll shift my plans towards having it printed out on temporary tattoo paper instead. Like hell, can’t really go wrong there I don’t think, plus it’s gotta be a lot cheaper, I’d think anyways…

LOL, the page behind that is turned exactly 90⁰, the dot grid I drew with an ink pen tracing the intersections of the front page and the back page. Yes it was a bit tedious, but not haphazardly done, the ink dots form a proper grid where I filled in the squares with a pencil.
If for no other reason, I hand drew this myself to try to get a loose idea of how tedious and troublesome it might be for an actual tattoo artist.
After all the very informative comments I’ve received here, I think I’ll rearrange my plans to not have a permanent tattoo afterall, but rather eventually have it printed out on temporary tattoo paper.

Nah, I’ll totally pass on the NFC implant idea. I get you though, even if the tattoo was done by a true pro with the most steady hands and perfect alignment, what would it look like in 3, 5, 10 years or so…?
I very much appreciate all your comments and advice on this, as I’ve never had a tattoo before but seriously do think this would be a cute, if not silly idea to have such a tattoo hiding under my actual watch.
I’m still gonna eventually finish designing the entire pattern I’m looking for, to proper printing scale, as a PNG file. I think I’ll start from there by having our local print shop print me out a page full of as many as I can tile on a page, cut them out and laminate them myself with packing tape.
Then I’ll see what other people think of the whole silly idea, and if it’s more favorable than not, I might see about eventually getting it properly printed on temporary tattoo paper. Can’t really go wrong with a temporary tattoo right?
With that thought in mind (plus our print shop is closed today), where the hell would I get true temporary tattoos printed out?

Great advice, and thank you in advance! 👍
I won’t be getting such a tattoo anytime soon, but advice such as yours is the sort of advice I seek.
Thank you again, I’ll definitely keep that in mind.

I didn’t have ruled paper handy. Ideas came to mind, and I just wanted to start sketching like immediately.
Yes awkward, but also kinda helps relieve my stress as well…
