This is adorable

Also, The stem, leaves and colors on your flower look almost identical to one I have on my thigh. We match!

I read somewhere that people with identical tattoos hardly ever work out =/

I would never get a tattoo to match with someone else. That's almost as bad as getting your significant other's name. Kiss of death.
I have a different flower than he does, so we're good

I told this girl I liked that I wanted a barcode on my wrist, and she said, "Wow, I'm gonna get one too!" Then I was like..."But I think I'll just go with the lyrics on my arm instead, the wrist would hurt too much anyways" =/ haha

It was impulsive, I got the rose black cause I figured it might impress some hot goth girl later on down the line. I actually wrote a short story 2 years back that I was thinking about getting transcribed out into a kind of pictograph story and have it done as sleeves. I eventually abandoned the idea because I couldn't figure out how to translate the story into pictures and still make it cohesive.

The story (and my concept art) was lost in the Great Hard Drive Crash of 2008, along with all the music I had been collecting since 2002. Luckily I had most of the music burned on MP3 CD's so I was able to build it back up, and then torrented whatever I couldn't find. It's a shame the pictures were lost, the guy I employed to draw them use to do artwork for D&D 3rd edition and were pretty good. It's been two years since I talked to him and completely lost track of him so the artwork is lost forever

Time to break out the crayolas! It is a pretty neat idea, though. I think you should do it. If nothing else, it'd be very unique and who cares if it takes another 2 years to complete the rough draft of what you want. It'll be unlike anything anybody you know has ever seen. The downside of that is trying to explain what it is to other people. If I had a nickel for every person who asks about what mine is/ is going to be, I'd have a fuckload of nickels.
