tribute tattoo (1 Viewer)

[multifanboy]

i had a bit of a breakdown tonight and after many of my breakdowns i feel a burst of creative energy. so i thought that i'd get back to designing my tattoo sleeve.

as a part of my sleeve i want to design something as a tribute to jonghyun.

snippets of things that i have as ideas to include are: the 'inspiration' with the red line through it, BYE., song lyrics, 1990, his rose, "always be with you" and the she is album cover.

brainstorm:

• BYE. with a rose going through it either up of straight across, if it's up part of the flowers stem could wrap around or grow on the Y
• a cursive j but a rose is growing from where it loops around
• BYE. but at the end of it have the book from she is but as a door and slightly opened with light shining out from it (i actually really like this idea but i don't know how to explain it well)
• an open envelope that says "always be with you" at the bottom and has roses growing out of the envelope.
• five roses entertwined one with 1990 in small font on one of the petals
• the she is book with a rose as a bookmark & 1990 in small font on one of the petals

it's 3 am.. oh boy.

if you guys have any suggestions i'm definently open to them!

I personally like the rose, although it isnt that creative. I was considering getting it tbh
