I have an existing tattoo of a single branch going from right to left. I would like to add some flowers, cherry blossom petal on/ falling from the branch. To the immediate right of the branch there there is an ancient celtic demon from irish folklore, blowing wind onto the leaves/branch. Placement is a half sleeve on the inner arm, from the arm pit to the elbow along the bicep. Add celtic knots or geometric patterns where possible.
