The word Ouroboros is Greek in origin and literally translates to "tail-devourer". The symbol the Greek word gives a name to is older than the Greek word for it and represents the eternal cycle of death and rebirth. Where the snake eats its tail the body begins again at the head and so on, infinitum.
I trust you were inspired by the ancient symbol, but there is nothing here devouring any tails nor is there a representation of rebirth as far as I can tell.
