I've been looking at tree tattoo ideas for well over a year already but I still haven't physically visited a tattoo shop for their ideas and sketches. I've been thinking of a dead looking tree (like it was in a swamp for 150 years), dark branches, broken branches, dark bark, scattered roots/branches with one green leaf. The roots would slowly go around my wrist as they scatter.
Pretty much this: ImageShack® - Online Photo and Video Hosting but in a larger scale and more in dept. Once again, with a green leaf somewhere in the tree.
