The bird with the long tail?
Good to see youve done your research.

Its called sarcasm.
The “long tailed bird” is a bloody pheonix it must be the most ofter tattooed bird ever.

So you said.

I’m confused. Your post didn’t really make any sense but you’re getting pissed at the replies. You said you liked the bird with the long tail (phoenix) then you said you wanted a hummingbird and not the long tailed bird. This after saying you’ve made up your mind. Well, what do you want…a hummingbird or the bird with a tail which is a phoenix? If you want a hummingbird why didn’t you post a pictureof one instead of the phoenix? Hummingbirds don’t even have long tails. And that’s a lot of words for a small piece. Slow down and rethink what it is you REALLY want.

Yea and I want to be ablle to deal with stupid posts without resorting to sarcasm. I think we may both end up disapointed.

I certainly don’t speak for everyone on this site, but my primary problem with your tattoo is it seems to me that you’re copying someone else’s. Many tattoo enthusiasts are not keen on others saying “Look at this tattoo this person has. I want this, with a few superficial changes.” It’s kind of like plagiarism. I’m new here, but my experience on other forums tells me that you’ll get a less than positive response in that scenario.

Don’t take it hard. This is the internet. Sometimes people are a bit more aggressive than they should be particularly if they perceive that you are stealing.

Here’s my gut reaction: I think you’re going to end up with a wonky looking hummingbird, because Cornish is right… hummingbirds don’t have long tails. That said, I’m not a designer for a good reason. The best thing you can do for yourself is take your idea to a good artist (honestly, you should just bring reference material for the bird… I’d skip the other tattoo altogether). Trust your designer and his/her vision. You’ll probably end up with something cooler than you imagined.
