So I was wondering, simply an eye, such as the Eye of Providence(except symmetrical), in the form of say, a tatoo on the forehead, would best represent telepathy or clairvoyance? Of course this is purely subjective, but I'm thinking of a seer character and I think this eye would be a cool tatoo to have(I could come up with all sorts of awesome reasons why he/she has it in a background story), but I don't wan't people to get confused.

Anyway, I'm looking for a general concesus here. I post this because I can definately see why it could be taken either way, but the other disciplines less so.

By the way, I welcome justification in the form of your own personal philosophy/perspective. Thanks.

Interesting, but if a tattoo on a psionic character, I could see this most readily on a Divine Mind or even an Ardent. The Eye of Providence represents the "all-seeing eye" of God. Furthermore, the the triangle that surrounds the eye is symbolic of the Christian concept of the Trinity.
