So I want to get my first tattoo and had a couple concerns. Here is my idea: I want to get a tattoo of my family crest. My family crest looks old or I guess outdated and not so modern/appealing to the eye so I was wondering if there was any way to modernize it or make it look better/cooler. My idea is to have a tattoo of a tree with my family crest carved into the trunk on my right outer arm. I want the top of the tree with the leaves to start at my shoulder and then have the trunk extend down the outer part of my bicep area and then have the roots of the tree extend down to a little past my elbow so you will be able to see the roots when I have a shirt on. I have attached pictures of some tree roots I like, a couple pictures of trees I thought I might want the tattoo designed around and then finally a picture of my family crest.

Thank you!

the black would be difficult to cover up, but then again who would want to cover up artwork dedicated to one's family. hope you choose what you like best. good luck man, have fun.
