I want YOU to design my tattoo!

[Oiseau the Little Bird!]

Okay, so traditionally, I get a new tattoo for my birthday. I'm looking for a bird theme, something ribbony looking, not tribal really. It's probably going on my side (ribs) or on my forearm. I've seen lots of pictures online, but I was wondering if anyone here was talented enough to pitch some custom art?
Here's an idea of what I'm looking for:



I'm very much in love with birds and the ribbony look of their feathers (as show in the above examples), and I want the placement of the tattoo to accentuate or bring out the curve of my side or my arm. Something effeminate.

If you're willing, I would love to see what you have to offer, even if it's just an idea or two. Also, I'm asking a lot of my friends that aren't on TH to contribute if they'd like, so there will be a lot to choose from.

Ideas and sketches are welcome! Thanks!

What about a sparrow and have it's tail start out as a tale then have it flow out into two intertwining ribbons?

Sure, give me two days.
