badstarHey folks...who wants to help me with my next tattoo?
I've been looking on and off for several days for a picture of a sunflower off of which to base my next tattoo- I've mentioned it before, it's going to be in memory of Alex, my friend from high school. It's going to be a sunflower because 1. When I first thought about getting a tattoo, I was planning to get a sunflower. and 2. She also wanted to gt a sunflower tattoo (I swear it was NOT an "OMG Best Friends let's get matching tattoos!!!!! thing. We had the idea independently, but at roughly the same time.) I wanted to get it done in September around her birthday but was still waiting on getting the tree finished. So I'm hoping to get this done sometime this month or early next month.
I've been looking for sunflower images and haven't found any that really stand out at me so far. I thought about getting someone up in Lancaster to go and take a picture of her headstone- there's a sunflower engraved on it...I've never been to the cemetery- and use that...but I don't want to do that.
So, my faithful readers...sunflower images. (No lectures on getting the artist to draw one for me, he's going to ask me to have something to base it off of. Went through that with the tree.) I don't care too much about how the leaves and stems look, it will probably be just the sunflower head. I want the typical big, gold sunflower. And not a Van Gogh-style sunflower. Image size doesn't matter, unless it's so ridonkulously small I can't see it or so big it doesn't fit on my screen. otherwise, there's always scaling.
If you're wondering about placement...upper arm
Here's your chance to inspire a piece of permanent art.

I think the best inspiration for a flower is nature. These are the best pics I found. Hope they help.

Unfortunately, there aren't too many sunflowers in bloom at this time of year...

I like the last one best, to be honest. :) I'm looking for a cluster of purple/red grapes for my right shoulder, if you happen to see any. ;)
