Help me pick my tattoo!

So, here's my dilemma: I want a tattoo, but I have no clue what I should get a tattoo of. I'm currently in the process of designing something for my sister, but I need more ideas for my own. The criteria so far is that it can't be too big (about the size of my palm AT MOST...and my hands are somewhat teeny anyway), It has to be feminine but not something lame like a flower, and i want it to be patterny. Also want it to remind me of Josh Pyke lyrics somehow...not too sure how I'll achieve that but who knows. I'm thinking animal related...maybe a little rabbit or Fox...leaves incorporated. Somehow.
This is my favourite Josh Pyke song "Fill you in". I've cut out a little bit becuase it didn't have any of the best bits, but the highlighted segments are the ones that speak to me the most.

And then the weatherman said to go back to bed, because it's shame to go outside when the wind keeps howling now.
So for a little while there I lived inside a cave,
and there were bears and bugs and leaves and love
and a dark that only left you when the night came crawling home.
And I was happy there for a while until I woke one day to find,
And then that broken bough it began to grow,
and it grew right through me.
And then the very next day, well the grass did blade and it cut right through me.
And then a rabbit dug a tunnel right between my ribs,
and she lived right through me.
And then a bird came and pecked at the space in my chest and then he flew right through me.
Now there's a hole in the ground where I used to lay down and I can't fill it in.
And there's a colouring pad in the back of my head and I want to fill you in.
And I was nothing more than an impression of myself and I want to fill you in.
Yeah you could lay your' body in the hollow where I used to be and you could fill me in.
And then that broken bough it began to grow,
and it grew right through me.
And then the very next day I believed in something new well, what can I say?
And then a bird came and pecked at the space in my chest and then he flew right through me.
And then a rabbit dug a tunnel right between my ribs and she lived right through me.
I'm a man, I'm a man like I used to be, I want to fill you in,
cos there's hole in my chest where the animals lived and I want to fill you in.
And I do a very fine impression of myself and I want to fill you in cos there's a colouring pad in the back of my head and I want to fill you in.
