Elegance of Nature: Rooted Strength

Create a tattoo design for the side of the upper arm featuring a stylized tree with intricate roots and branches that intertwine elegantly. The artistic style should be a blend of traditional and modern, incorporating realistic textures for the bark and leaves while maintaining a slightly abstract form. The design should extend from the shoulder down to the mid-arm, allowing for a size that is medium to large, approximately 6-8 inches in height. Utilize a monochromatic color palette with deep blacks and subtle grays to enhance the details, emphasizing shadows and highlights for depth. Integrate intricate patterns within the tree, like mandala elements in the leaves and spirals in the roots, symbolizing growth and connection to nature. The overall mood should evoke a sense of tranquility and strength, drawing inspiration from Celtic or Norse mythology, representing resilience and the cycle of life.
