Not really, but didn't want to break the great discussion on the other thread.

It's high time for a new tattoo. I have almost decided on cattails (some people call them bullrushes??). The problem with the design I have is that the stalks are too thin to be able to outline and have colour in. I was wondering if there were any ideas floating around these parts.

Alice, any ideas?

Criteria: Not more that 3.5" wide by 1.5" high. Must be simple, elegant, and prefer a north american theme. Less is more, and it's going on my ankle.

Thanks, mateys!
