My idea is a dna strand that wraps around my right leg. The dna strand will need to contain the names of my 3 daughters Jess, Izzy and Emily. I want the dna strand to merge into a chain ring or cassette to symbolise my cycling passion. I also want the strand to spiral out into a paraglider wing and propeller to symbolise my previous hobby of flying Paramotors. I would like to include a 4 leaf clover to symbolise luck. Heart for love and happiness. Not sure on a style, probably black and white and include symmetry and geometric. I also love formula 1, so a chequered flag would be good somewhere.
