That might be a little busy, but amazing.

[nancykind]

ouch.

 

but i don't know anything about tattoos.

[TheDHJ]

The pain is beautiful.

[TEO]

I find that pain hurts.

[Tim the Beek]

I find that pain hurts.

 

But there are different kinds of pain...I've actually fallen asleep getting tattooed before...endorphins or something...

[Indigo Adventurer]

wow I love this picture! Again I think something will end up lost in translation when turned into a tattoo though.... I'd love to see how it would come out in tattoo form

[hoagie]

Have you considered any other versions of the Phoenix?

[TEO]

In the exploratory phase, would love to view any interesting ones.  I really dig the above pic, although uncertain on how it would translate to a tattoo.

[TheDHJ]

Pain don't hurt.

[sarah b.]

I think it would make prettier wall art, but, that's me.

[gregoir]

here is one similar with colors

 

I am scared of tattoos. no holes no ink for this guy

 

[TEO]

Nice purple and gold.

[roo]

[roo]

problem is orange doesnt age well. a touch up around five years is recommended.

[August West]

Minne felt like an itch I didn't even know needed to be scratched.

[Ginger Snap]

That's really beautiful.

[Lemireacle]

 

 

No tattoo for me, but that's really awesome!!! :thumsbup:

[TEO]

Wow Kramer, that is sweet!

Thinking the use of color in this pic might translate well for color on the phoenix's plumage.

i think the hard part with the last photo posted is the bleeding of colors ~ which may look awesome BUT also, may not especially with time.... my bleeding tattoos i dont care... they are my babies and every line is a history - however, others may not feel the same. it wouldn't look so obvious with orange bleeding into other shades of oranges/reds/yellow but there are a lot of colors on the last image that may bleed and just appear black or murky .... good luck! i did a google image search of phoenix rising tattoos and found some pretty awesome pieces - can always take the last image or 3-5 with you and talk to an artist who will combine them and your own touches of artistry and wants for personal touch and create a long lasting piece.

[hoagie]

[TEO]

Thanks Rayne!  I have also found that a thin dark outline holds back the bleeding of colors.

[TheDHJ]

Every line is a history. How true.

[Kuzsin]

.....check out tribal phoenix tattoos... The flames are less likely to turn out distorted...

[TEO]

Ooo, I like that concept, thank you Kuzsin.

[TEO]

[Mama Kel]

I love the concept. Definitely take your ideas to the artist. They do amazing stuff! Just got my foot tattoo. Hurt like hell but worth it! Where would you put it?

[TheDHJ]

[In A Silent Way]

I drew a bird on my arm with a Sharpie. The executives liked that even less than my Hello Kitty earphones.

[tyedyedee]

[TheDHJ]

Dee if you're not going to do it now you're just not going to do it.

[tyedyedee]

but i *am* kinda scared

[TheDHJ]

I know you are. Nothing to be scared of silly. Have Tony come or something.

[hippieskichick]

I'm working on a big piece on my ribs right now. Jeebus fuckballs, it hurts. But it looks amazing!!! If you were a little closer, Ms. Dee, I'd be your tat buddy

 

Crap, if I'm bored, I'd probably come out there anyway!

 

Ms. Teo, have you decided on body location yet?

[lumbojo]

I love the concept. Definitely take your ideas to the artist. They do amazing stuff! Just got my foot tattoo. Hurt like hell but worth it! Where would you put it?

MamaKel.....I have your avatar pic as a tattoo on my back, with my sons birthdays on the upper branches.....thats all for todays useless bit of knowledge....lol

[Spidergawd]

????

 

[tyedyedee]

skilady, i would love to meet you and i bet you would be a great tatbuddy

 

i will go for a consult soon

in fact, i think ms kia is visiting me this weekend and i will take her for the consult...first step!

[TEO]

Ms. Teo, have you decided on body location yet?

 

 

Location will depend on the final design choice.   I would prefer to be able to view the tat without a mirror.

[hippieskichick]

I'm with you on the visiblility. I have one on the back of my neck, my first one, and I would often forget about it, until someone asked about it. My other 3 are visible to me, and I like that so much better!

 

I'd suggest the ribs, but efff.... It looks good, but the pain is ridiculous.

 

 

Is this your first one, Teo?

[TEO]

Not the first, but does have the potential to be the largest.

[Lazy Lightning]

Have you considered any other versions of the Phoenix?

 

 

Like this one?

 

 

Two gold stars for anyone who can recognize the cartoon that it comes from!

[Rionach aka Spec K]

me too
