A hyper-realistic surrealist tattoo design, A detailed side-by-side juxtaposition on train tracks. On the left, a dark, cold, mechanical locomotive train fades into black shadows, inside the windows are identical sheep packed together staring blankly. On the right, a classic waiting train glows with a soft, warm emerald green light from its windows. In the exact center foreground, standing in the gravel between the two tracks, is a single realistic sheep looking hesitantly toward the green glowing train. Sprouting from the rocky tracks at the sheep's feet are hyper-realistic Hawaiian hibiscus flowers, with intricately detailed black and grey petals and vivid, vibrant green leaves and stamens.
