    Mr Garver,

    Have you ever seen the special forces skull and dagger? It's a skull wearing the army ranger beret with a dagger coming up behind it, hilt below the skull's jaw. Mr. Garver, I'd love for you to take that concept and create a beautiful, unique tattoo for my left forearm.
    I am inspired by my best friend who is fighting cancer- he has this image on his right arm (he is my hero, teacher, and an 8th degree grandmaster black belt- and I can think of no better way to honor him as he fights to survive chemo and take on the rest of his life. He is the strongest person I know, keeping his sense of humor all the time, and smiling through the most intense pain and recently, the inability to talk)
    - though for my version I'd like to feminize it a little, making the skull edgy and eye catching. I'd like to add butterfly wings to the skull, beautiful, flowing, gothic-style wings with purples and yellows, and any other colors you'd like. I'm open to any other additions or modifications you would suggest. I want to show the fighter (I'm a proud black belt, too!)- but contrast it with the feminine in an awesome way. Like the hot pink boxing gloves, but without being stereotypical. I want this tattoo to be anything but what anyone expects. This could be the centerpiece of a sleeve- the contrast femme/fighter being the theme. I know you could make it amazing.

    Mr. Garver, I would love for YOU to do this tattoo for me because I am amazed and fascinated by the detail of your art. Your shading and realism are second to none! I know you could make the artwork of the skull something beautiful, detailed, and amazing- not something expected or run-of-the mill.

    I'm really excited about this possibility, and I'm so grateful that you've agreed to give all of us hopeful canvases an opportunity to work with you.
    I am nineteen years old, and I would be totally honored to receive your work of art. Thank you.
