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. Cool tattoo!
