Summary:
I want it to be a good cover up. Sexy, natural looking, flow nice, erase the mistake I made.
Description:
I need a tribal design to cover up about 8 stars I got which I hate. I only want it to be from about the top of my shoulder to before where my arm bends, due to work reasons it has to be covered. I currently have a rose with some tribal on the center of my upper arm, which I dont want to cover. the stars go from the tip of my shoulder down the back of my arm to the bottom of the rose. I have pictures if needed. The stars are a mixture of solid black and faded black. I would like the tribal to cover it, but to look natural like it was supposed to be there. Blend with my rose a little bit. I know there might be some thicker tribal lines needed to cover the bigger stars but being I am a female and my arms are kind of small I dont want it to be too big and crazy. I just want it to look really cool and cover my stupid misktake. I have some examples of some tribal I like, although it doesnt have to be identical to the pictures I found it just gives you idea of my style. Please help. I just want black considering color wont cover the stars. Please see pictures attached for a better idea. If you need me for anything please dont hesitate to contact me, I would love for us to work together for something that is a perfect fit. Shade543@aol.com

I forgot to mention that I am open to suggestions about this piece. I also added a picture of another rose that I just thought was cool. I was just trying to add my style to the mix to help you know my likes a little bit. So feel free to be open with me about this. If you think it should be all tribal or adding anything is needed. How to make my existing rose mesh well, Im sure I will have to get that re-colored. Just ask away. I am really into this coming out good. I am going to upload a pic of my existing rose as well, as that will im sure help you. Thanks in advance.

Shit I also forgot to say my dimensions may not be accurate so its best to go by the pic of my arm. Also, I am not a feminine girl, so no girly pics. Im a baggy clothes hat backwards type of chick, so the girly tribal isnt for me! :)

I thought of another idea for this, although it doesnt have to be used per say. But, Since a couple of the stars are bigger and may be hard to cover. Maybe for those areas obviously either have thicker lines OR I was thinking to have to lines to make a thicker area. But instead of one thick line it will be two coming off of eachother, but able to cover the bigger stars and still be good looking tribal. I hope I explained this right.
Thanks again

I just want to fill you in on the quick coloring I did on the side with the rose. I was thinking that the green could fade to black at the end of the thorny parts. The only reason I did this was because I have the cover up actually connecting to the rose's vines/thorns and wanted it to all blend together. Sorry that only that little bit has color. I was going to re-shade the entire rose design but it was a little too grainy for me to really make out all the details. I would have needed something really really clear to do some serious modifying.
I wish I could have come up with a couple concepts for you but as I mentioned before, I've got a lot going on at this point in time so the time I have to work on designs is limited. I gave it my best shot though.
I've also got the other side in the works but it likely won't be submitted until the final day of the contest. Just have a lot of other things going on that are also taking up my time. But no worries...I WILL have it ready before the contest ends :)

I personally wont enter this contest as my skills are not advanced enough for this. but the measurements will help others alot.
Also the circumference of your arm, some people might want to design something that wraps all the way around, to do it properly you need that measurement
