Footprints?

me and some people are thinking of getting tattoos together.. we wanted something hawaiian themed, and they liked the idea of hibiscus flowers...it's not that i don't like them because they are overdone or anything, but i hardly see any i like. they are completely open to other ideas, and they want me to draw them all out. i just came up with the idea of having footprints walking in sand... i was wondering what you guys thought, if that would translate well into a tattoo, and just your overall oppinion...
