Create a picture or multiple pictures of a forearm/ quarter sleeve tattoo with deep meaning. My sisters middle name is rose so I would like a detailed rose in the tattoo. Her birthday is July 25 2017 so I was thinking making those Roman numerals and incorporating them into the rose. I would also like a shark moving feature. I like the idea of 2 or three sharks swimming in a circle or just swimming, hammerhead preferably, I want something that pushes me daily, I want something that tells me that everything happens for a reason. I don’t want any smoke in the background or letters in the tattoo at all
