Tattoo

Right, am thinking about getting a tattoo to cover the big, ugly scar on the inside of my right ankle. I'm full sure my parents won't approve, but they don't have to live with it.

So, Void, I am employing your help for the bouncing of ideas for said tattoo. I saw a nice one a while ago, that was a tribal design with flowers incorporated into it.
This is it :)

However, the more I think about it, I feel that getting a tribal tattoo would nearly be a lie, seeing as I have no immediate connections to anything that the tribal tattoos are all about. Therefore, I propose taking the pretty flowers and melding them in some way with some sort of Celtic band, seeing as I'm Irish. Like one of these
Pretty band, but replace ring with rose
Melt rose into there somehow

The other idea is to just get a tribal rose like one of these
blue and red one
simple black one
and just get it covering the scar and not have it in a band around my ankle.

The only problem I may encounter however, dear Void, is whether or not the tattoo will take on the scarred skin. I was researching this, and apparently it may not take, but people have said that the older the scar is, the more likely it is to take. And I'm going on 3 years at this point, so hopefully that should be old enough. I will have to go and talk to the tattooist about it though. If I can't get the tattoo over the part that I want, I will be willing to move it up the leg slightly, but not too much.

Anyway, Void, if you do happen to have any feedback or comments, they would be tremendously appreciated. However, since we have never met, I have to assume you have some form of appendage and can type. Or that you have some magical, mystical cyber-power type thing, that can post a comment directly using only your mind. Well, I guess I'll have to wait and find out...
