Hello Biance. I have thought about your question a good deal. I would do three things. I would a) approach my local aboriginal community and ask for advice and b) speak with my tattooist. They generally are pretty clever with tats that suit. and c) I would ask my friend. Perhaps she will have an idea of something she would appreciate. A friendship as special as this is a good one in which to share decisions.Yrs L.
