Cool tattoo!
I’ve been a radio fan for years and this symbol is very familliar to me.
I taught a class where I had people build a similar design. A coil, a diode and a piezo unit for a transducer. My tattoo would have a tapped coil instead of the slider type like you have.
The most amazing radio I’ve made has a circuit like this, with a razorblade as the detector.
This guy has two books you might find interesting:
H. P. Friedrichs-”The Voice of the Crystal” he shows how to make radio parts out of junk around the house.
He also has a book that tells how to make tubes from scratch.
