Hello everyone, i have a few small tattoos, on my ribs, back, chest arms. But i decided i want to do a full leg piece.

I want something colorful, and going from my ankle to right under my knee.

I recently went on vacation to africa and did a few safaris and had a blast, and i fell in love with the scenery and animals. So i would like an african animal type theme.

I want the main piece to be a male lion, but how else do i plan the rest of the tattoo? i want colorful, i was thinking like a red and orange backround because the sunsets their are beautiful. And There is a certain type of tree that i have a ton of pictures of that were all over that i thought looked awesome, so maybe some how incorporate those trees in it aswell.

So mostly i just want to find out how to design and plan a full piece. The shop that is going to do this piece is 2 hours away so i was trying to get some ideas before i drive just to get it drawn up.

So any ideas would help a ton, as i have no clue how to even plan something out like this.
