Dont comment if you’re just going to suggest I go to my tattooist, he will obviously get final cut but I’m trying to refine my idea atleast a little bit before I get that far..

I’m wanting a back piece done. Primary image being a river red gum or just generally a gum tree down one side of my back with the branches and leaves reaching up. I’m looking to get a half sleeve done at some point after and would like the design to incorporate the leaves from the backpiece if possible.
In the foreground I’d like a rocking chair and/or a kangaroo laying down. Pref rocking chair if only one.
Would also like to incorporate the phrase below if practical.
Worrying is like sitting in a rocking chair,
It gives you something to do,
But it doesn’t get you anywhere.

My problem is that I can’t find ANY gum tree tattoos other than a few leaves and my artsy skills are shite to be kind.
I’m also a sucker for the 40’s pin ups and this chickadee on the bench worrying about rain would do fine instead of a rocking chair (or drawn as a double seated rocker). I haven’t been able to picture how to draw the two styles together.

If someone could put my ideas together even a rough sketch it’d help me immensely.
