I think it turned out kinda sexy and elegant.
Tail fits nicely in the butt&thigh area.
Anyhow, top of the wing healed lighter than I’ve expected. So,
below is from previous post.

@peter: you can email me directly to m a s a m i 2 1 5 a t g m a i l d o t c o m to discuss detail, price etc.
depending on where on your body(esp something that wraps around) i may or may not design it for you though…

ok this phoenix tattoo is WICKED – most that I see are just not detailed enough – they look so cartoonish and simple this one is almost EXACTLY what I’m looking for (I just want to get mine done with a lot of color) even the location on the ribcage is what I want to (eventually) have done
do you think if I send you an email you could quote me for a sketch … something similar maybe just a bit more girly (I was thinking of incorporating some flowers into the design somehow)You are incredible!

Hello, beautifull tattoo, I was thinking if it would be possible to get the sketch? I would adjust it for a tattoo on myself.
I hope it is possible.
And sorry for my bad English, It’s because I’m from Belgium.
With kind regards Tommy

This is a CHICKEN HEAD,Eagle wings,Chicken Legs,and a funny foxy tails TATTOO!This is not a phoenix Tattoo.Stupid,Go and learn ARTS!
masami @ gemini tattoo on Sat, 12th Dec 2009 1:04 pm
@lamb: thank you for a very humbling comment. i am always making effort to improve my art. i guess 5yrs in art school was not enough for me. any suggestion to whom i can learn from?
also half the time when i get a comment form the UK- i believe you are from CORK religion, last guy was from CALNE, comments are nasty. you really need to learn some manners. NE Philly has a huge Irish population but really i can’t even compare how awesome these guys are!

that tattoo is simply amazing. I’ve been wanting a tattoo for a long time, but could never find a nice design of a phoenix. they all looked too tame, too sweet, too girlish. (not the mention the designs were way too simple or cartoonish) I wanted a phoenix which looked wilder, proud but a bit shy and ofcourse elegant. This one seems to have that all. I would love to let you make me a tattoo, too bad I live in the netherlands.

i really like the style of this tattoo i was woundering what references did you use for this tattoo?
Carly on Sun, 2nd May 2010 12:41 pm
Hey, I’ve got a tattoo booked and I’m also getting a phoenix about the same size, it’ll be similar in the sense that it’s more realistic and not cartoony too. I was just wondering how long did this tattoo take? Did you do it all in one sitting?
Phoenix Garcia on Mon, 3rd May 2010 11:14 pm
I can agree with many on the feedback, amazing work. I am interested in getting some ink, will email you for more information.
Thank you
