I'm looking for an artistic tattoo design that reflects the message embodied by the Christian Poem "Footprints". It should not be large, perhaps 10x10 cm. It should be delicate and colorful, designed for a very high-class and tasteful woman. Footprints themselves are not necessary as long as the message is conveyed.
This is for a beautiful woman that faced harrowing trials through her life and wishes to thank God with her entire being for "carrying" her through her tough times. Placement of the tattoo is undecided.
## Deliverables
Your proposal should be both descriptive and visual. At a minimum, please include both sketches and description of the imagery. I would also like to see examples of other finished products you have delivered that are relevant to this kind of work. Tattoo design experience is a plus, but not required.
Also, if it helps, the young lady is Protestant, not Catholic.
For those of you unfamiliar with the poem, I've added it here:
One night a man had a dream. He dreamed
he was walking along the beach with the LORD.
Across the sky flashed scenes from his life.
For each scene he noticed two sets of
footprints in the sand: one belonging
to him, and the other to the LORD.
When the last scene of his life flashed before him,
he looked back at the footprints in the sand.
He noticed that many times along the path of
his life there was only **one **set of footprints.
He also noticed that it happened at the very
lowest and saddest times in his life.
This really bothered him and he
questioned the LORD about it:
"LORD, you said that once I decided to follow
you, you'd walk with me all the way.
But I have noticed that during the most
troublesome times in my life,
there is only one set of footprints.
I don't understand why when
I needed you most you would leave me."
The LORD replied:
"My son, my precious child,
I love you and I would never leave you.
During your times of trial and suffering,
when you see only one set of footprints,
it was then that I carried you."
