Hmm, Zebra Print Help?

I'm looking to do Zebra print on my sides but I'm not sure how to go about it. I was originally going to have my mom just paint them on with bleach then dye them black but I think I'd like to have them shaved in and then dye. But I'd like the stripes to be the unshaved parts.

I don't really know how to go about this? I was thinking maybe make stripes out of masking tape and adhering them to the parts I want to keep and cutting around them? My sides are one inch right now so they need to be desperately cut down a bit first. I can't really think of any other way to do it. Other then just painting them out and trying to cut too it, but that sounds even more tricky.

I also don't know what I could use to cut between the little lines. I think using a big hair trimmer wouldn't be precise enough to get into the spaces between. The picture is pretty much the perfect pattern I want to use (after trolling google zebra prints for like a half an hour ahah) but curved to my head obviously.

Any ideas?
