Hey there,

I was just looking for some of the talented users help in designing a tattoo i've been stuck on for the past couple years.

The tattoo is ukrainian song lyrics that my great grandmother used to sing to me before she passed. The words translate into 'give me a rose before I die, make me happy in my life, what is your rose to me when I die?' . Now unfortunately I am unable to speak ukrainian and the original email I had with the translation was lost so I had to scan a printed version of the email into my computer and edit it to get the words on the computer again.

I've tried a few different ideas but i am artisticly challenged when it comes to actually drawing myself a visual. I've tried to wrap the font around a rose or cross but I am unable to make it look anything like actual roses or anything haha. I am open to any ideas or layouts, I am hoping to either get this tattoo on my rib cage or on my forearm depending how the final layout measures out.

I opened a photobucket account just to load some of my ideas into. Here is the link

Also thank you very much in advance for any help your willing to provide.
