    HI, I am Wei ๐Ÿ˜€

    SO, I’ve gotten about 15 or so piercings within the last year and am now wanting to get a tattoo ^^

    I was thinking of getting something on my back based off the poem “The Stolen Child” by Yeats and the movie, Pan’s Labyrinth. In a nutshell, they are about a child being led into this fantasy world by fairies because basically, the real world sucks.
    (You can find the poem here: http://www.online-literature.com/yeats/816/)

    I wanted it set across a night sky/galaxy (dark blue) look with a crescent moon (PL).
    Then I was thinking of either:
    1) A tree, either from Pan’s (shown below) or just a different tree altogether. In the movie, the girl going into the tree is her first task in becoming princess of the underground realm. And in a book that was based on the poem, kids who are taken by the “fairies” go into the woods to hide with the other “fairies” (other children who were taken in the past).

    OR
    2) A waterfall. In the poem, he writes about Glencar Waterfall in Ireland…and I like waterfalls ๐Ÿ™‚
    I’d like to have both but I feel like that would just make it look too..busy (?). Unless someone can think of someway for me to incorporate both?

    Along the bottom or side somewhere, I’d like to have the lines from the poem:
    Come away, O human child!
    To the waters and the wild
    With a faery, hand in hand,
    For the world’s more full of weeping than you can understand

    And lastly, I want a child in there holding hands with a flying fairy (or two). If I get the tree, I’d like to have the child going towards the tree with the fairies (since that’s where the fantasy comes in).
    I’m not sure if I want just a silhouette of the figures or something more detailed. I’m leaning more towards the silhouette though.

    Sorry for such a long description, I like to be thorough, hehe ๐Ÿ˜€
    Any comments, suggestions, etc.. for this?
    I’d draw out an idea of what I want but..I’m not much of an artist and it’d just end up a couple stars, a bare tree, and some swirls ahaha ^^

    I like the tree pic.

    I think it would look cool with color or black and grey.

    I would go for detailed over silhouette myself.
