A new tattoo in mind

Its been a little while since I got a tattoo so Ive made an appointment to get another one this weekend (tommorrow actually). Im planning on getting a rose tattooed on my chest.......not down by my breasts. It will be up closer to my collar bone. It will look close to the rose at the bottom of my blog page except it will be red with green leaves. Hopefully the tattoo guy can make it look close to a black rose since Ive always loved black roses so much. I saw a beautiful bouquet of them at Wal-Mart a month or two ago and they looked absolutely gorgeous with their black and red pettals that looked like velvet. I had to touch them to see if they were real! So that is what Im getting tattooed on the right side of my chest and maybe when I get the extra money I will have the other side of my chest done. Im also working on another oil painting. Im painting my little dog laying on a red colored blanket with a purple florol print curtain kind of draping to one side. Im not sure about the main back ground behind the dog though. I was thinking a cream color because it would look good with the reds and purples, but my dog is a creamy-apricot color and he kind of blends in with the background. Mum suggested gray, but I dont know how good that would look with other colors. Maybe I should just do the background black lol.
