Right are sleeve, 13 poppy flowers in bloom on front of the forearm, back of forearm a map of Afghanistan and Iraq with unit logos 6PAX, 6Guns, Ghostriders, Hooter Bros., Dark Horse and Crazy Horse, upper outside of arm has 160th SOAR unit logo, with american flag drapped down on the front of the biceps, and unit moto on inside of upper arm, with parachute round with wings and skull with dagger going through it. Blended in between objects needs to be a battle of angels fighting for the souls of the lost. On the poppy flowers I want the face of the fallen soldier with their battalion and companies with the date of their death.

I'm thinking of a half sleeve (top left arm) of aspects of my grandparents garden. They always fed the birds, blue tits and robins come to mind, and my grandad has a group of pigeons who wait on his shed for him to feed them. He names them all and there's a huge wood pigeon he calls "bully boy". I would love to have flowers from their garden included, pansies, tulips, fuchsias, poppies (we used to sprinkle the seeds when they were ready so maybe some poppy seed pods?), lavender, they grew lots of vegetables, had so many tomato plants in their greenhouses. We used to help on their allotment using their garden spades and forks and would push each other up and down the garden in their wheelbarrow. They had a pond we used to catch frogs in, a bird bath and lots of bees and butterflies around the flowers. There was often a fox or two in the garden. A black and grey tattoo incorporating some/all of these things would be incredible.
