Oh yeah, it's one of my favorite henna designs right now! As for
tattoos, make sure it's really what you want. (did you know this is a
henna discussion forum? if not, stick around...)
Unforuntately I am very technologically challenged. So I will refer
you to (gasp) a BOOK. It's called Celtic Art, the Methods of
Construction by George Bain. It is hands down the bible of celtic
artwork, alphabets, plants, animals, you name it.
If you're artistically inclined, you can look at the different potted
trees of life he has and make one up to fit the body part in question.
If not, try to get the book or photocopy the pages with the trees of
life and get your tattoo artist to do something you're happy with.
The tree of life in that book, and the others I've seen, are growing
out of something. Bain has them in nice decorated pots...check out
the memorial piece for Willie Souter - that's what I use.
Good luck
