So the idea I have is for the tattoo to be on the back of my hand (palm down), extending up my forearm. I want my hand/fingers to be a skeleton hand, and then I want the tree of life going up my forearm with the roots going down and blending into the skeleton. I want my thumb and pointer finger to be mainly roots, with the middle finger incorporating both being blended together. On the same side as the thumb and pointer finger, I was the leaves to be sparse and falling off the tree. I want it semi-realistic

Create a clean, printable black-and-white tattoo stencil for the PALM SIDE of both hands, matching my uploaded reference design #6 exactly in style.
