Polynesian Half-Sleeve Custom Tattoo

Summary:

Creative freedom on a polynesian based half-sleeve tattoo.

Description:

I've been learning about Polynesian tattoos, not only do they look great they have a lot of meaning. What I'm after is a polynesian based half-sleeve (upper arm) which is said to represent strength and power; a chief or a warrior.

Don't worry if you're not familiar with the symbols/meanings I'll try to explain what I want but see http://polynesiandesign.net/symbols.html for a basic guide. Anyway I'm not after a completely true polynesian design, feel free to be creative with your designs/patterns, make your own patterns and don't feel like you have to draw any symbols completely as they are anywhere else, be creative.

I want the tattoo on my upper arm, with minimal overflow to the shoulder and none on the chest, I want the inside of my arm done also. I'd like a lifeline (interlocking spearheads, see the first image) to span the length of the tattoo - not straight down. I'd like a sun with rays at the top centre of my arm with a marquesan cross (see third image) contained within it.

Please try to implement Spiritual Weaving (5th image), Inner Faith (see webpage) and Grace (4th image) somewhere, within shapes, as a standalone pattern, whatever you feel like. Plus I definitely would like a sharkteeth pattern somewhere (top pattern here http://bit.ly/anbl0V )

Have a look at the other images I added. No colour, black only.
