Tattoo Help

Hi all, I'm a new poster here and I was wondering if I could get a little bit of help from some of the more talented artists around here.
My cousin recently passed away and my siblings and I are getting a tattoo for her. I've gone to a few tattoo parlors nearby me but none seem to be really listening me on what we want. I was wondering if someone could help come up with a few sketches of my general idea.
I would like the black cancer ribbon

made to look as if it were made out of stone with the initials MG inscribed on it to look as if it was chiseled in with a white rose similar to this

either crossing the ribbon or preferably coming out of the middle of the ribbon. I really appreciate any help anyone can give me, or moving this to the correct forums.

    Try the questions and discussion thread, cause this'll get locked. Someone may be able to help you there, but you'll get more of a response if you put some cash up for grabs.

    I fail to believe that a tattoo artist cant do this. The places near you must really suck.

    Yeah, if this is beyond them, I wouldn't trust them with my skin.

    From what I know about tattooing, you have to keep in mind that small fine details are very difficult to replicate on skin.
    Before you even think about the actual art that would be permanently injected into your skin, you want to
    decide how big the art will be. The size of the tattoo will dictate the ammount of detail that can be incorporated.

    This type of thread is specifically mentioned in the rules as a no-no:
    10 ) Do Not Ask for Art in a New Thread
    Do not start new threads to ask for free art, tattoo designs, Websites, etc. If you wish to commission paid work, ask in the CHAT or Questions/Discussion thread.

    I'm sorry for your loss but we don't do that sort of thing here. If someone wants to contact you privately after seeing this, they can.
