fingers crossed that will work

Thanks for your replies guys, you have all been very welcoming and helpful.
I wasn’t aware that there was a white and also a UV white – how interesting… I am finding it all hard to visualise.
I’ve been google imaging pictures of snowflakes so I am going to play around with pen and paper and see what I come up with.
Any other suggestions welcome… if I can get my head around the best way to do this and find a suitable artist then I will get this done quite soon.

Thank you Outlaw, I appreciate your time, and I think you might be right…. I really love the idea of the autumn shade leaves… autumn is my favourite season. strange because I never imagined myself having ‘coloured’ tattoos.
I had a quick look at your pictures (I hope you don’t mind) and I LOVE the henna type lizard foot tattoo.
I would love to incorporate the snowflake into a bigger design at a later date and think that if I had the snowflake under my bellybutton (maybe slightly to one side) then later I could add a delicate henna type pattern branching out, up my side/rib cage and down onto my hip? I would want the snowflake hidden but the henna part would then be on display if I wanted it to be.
Not sure if the leaves would then fit in with this design? But I still LOVE the idea, I’m going to have a think and see if I can make it work – and I am open to suggestions.
For personal reasons I want to get the snowflake part of the design done quite soon, I feel that I need to do this.
I assume I can do this in stages… a subtle snowflake, then can the background be added? or was the whole point for the background to create the snowflake?

Thank you so much for your help
