Hey Guys, heres my new phoenix tattoo outline i just got a few hours ago ( not complete)… I have been thinking about this concept forever and it has very deep meaning to me.. Feel free to comment!
-Also, i’m stuck between color or just Black /White… if color please suggest what colors etc? lol help! ๐
Thanks for looking! ๐
its going to be a nice piece indeed, personally i would go for full colour..
Hi
You have some sweet ink there!
I am a black n shade fan normally but on a phoenix you have you have to go full colour to give that type of tattoo justice.
I would say oranges, yellows, reds for the fire and maybe some sapphire blues.
Looking great.

big colour fan, black n shade would also do verrry well. but go reds yellos oranges. see what ur artist can do!
Im not a color guy so my vote is for some black and light shading
looks great either way though!
Great looking tattoo, and great message. My vote is for colour, do it justice ๐
i think it has to be colour ๐
I’d def go color. Like others have said, A phoenix sortof needs color to do it justice… I’m such a conformist, lol.
awesome piece though, i definitely like how it goes all the way down to the waistline instead of stopping at lower back….. I’d say go a little darker behind the scroll with text on it, so it will add some depth, but im sure the artist will do something of that sort…
good luck with the rest of it, looks like you have quite a bit of time left in the chair man.
Thanks everyone! I guess the majority says color because it’s a phoenix piece, which is usually vibrant / colorful. I’ll be working up a color scheme in photoshop just to mess around.. I’ll be sure to post back once i’m finished with my tatt! Artist said that i’ll probably need 2 more sessions though, the outline only took 2 hours and only $200! thanks all ๐

FULL colour!! phoenix’s look AMAZING in colour. not as much in black/grey
4-22-09 UPDATE++++++++++++
Heres a quick update guys. Just got back from 2nd session and out of the showers. Tail feathers are only shaded for now, but will be color next session. I’ve decided to not go with the bright greens/purples like other phoenixs’ but more of a red/yellow color. For the clouds im planning to just shade them in black/grey, and leave the phoenix/tail in color. 1 more session to go to tidy things up!
