Hi, here's my design for your project. I'm trying a slightly different style to the other designs. I've combined a few different tattoo styles to create this, graff, american traditional, gothic, religious. From reading your brief and the comments you have left you seem really proud of your NYC background so I've shown this in my design. The sacred heart is replaced by a red apple with a bite out of it (the big apple) - i've put this in a funky graff style with the graff writing inside saying NYC Since 2001. The flame of the sacred heart is made from the torch of the statue of liberty which is watermarked in the apple. I've also represnted the name of the shop in the design - the body being represented by the apple (flesh - representing NYC, the heart of new york state) the soul being represented by the religious theme of the sacred heart and also the angel wings. Gothic typestyle to write the name all set with gold tones apart from the red apple - again emphasizing NYC. Let me know if you'd like to see any amends. PS - where you based? I was in Hardcore tattoo NYC a couple of months ago - there's some really good places in the village. BMF
