I wanted Jon over at Green Man to do the fenhuang (Chinese phoenix) on my left arm since he did the dragon on the right. When I was in last week setting up Snow Ninja's sister for a tattoo appointment they had said he was booked into August, and worried that I wouldn't be around in August I stopped by the studio yesterday to talk to him about design and set up an appointment. Coincidentally he had a cancellation for tonight, so we got done at the same time. Just like the last one, he came up with a design that was not really what I was thinking of but even cooler. This design was completely custom, and it's a phoenix made of flame, shaded to match my dragon.
Try as I might, this was the best picture I could take of it myself because of how it wraps around the back of my (oh so manly) bicep. Sorry, it's out of focus a bit...
I'm really happy with his work. I'm not sure I'm going to feel comfortable having anyone else do my ink anymore, I may have to travel back to CT to get my new art done when it's time after I move...
Edit: NIP SLIP!!!!! HELLOOOOOOO LADIES!
