Black Rose on arm

Summary:

inspired by Black Rose by Trapt

Description:

I want a single black rose "growing" out of my skin and the thorns cutting into the skin.

The bulb will be mid arm on my tricep. I dont want a huge bulb vs a small stem. (3x3" on the bulb and the stem to go down straight down about 2" and over toward the crease of my elbow about 4".

I want a very dark and classy look in all shades of the gray except for the "blood" from the thorns and the exit point of the stem

Im attaching some images for references. I really like the stem and leaves on the yellow rose. the artsy look of the 2 black rose pics, the feel of the Real rose pic the idea of the growing out of the skin and then the other 2 are for location.(that is a crude scetch i drew on my right arm of about the location and shape) 

Thanks. -Jake
