So the story behind this tattoo is. When I was three months old my father died, my mother was adopted, my fathers family scattered to the four corners of I dont care where. most of them were low lifes. which leaves my mom my only real family. I didnt know my father but I know what tattoos he had, and to honor him, my family, and the fact that I am the only person in my family (my mom was remarried). I decided to get a phoenix where my father had an eagle. Upper left chest. over it in an arch it wil say Siv Vita Est, Vive Ut Vives (Thus is Live, Live to Live)

Ive browsed literally thousands of images and nothing has really stood out. Im looking for a tattoo that is either realistic but shows a bird with pride something less like a peacock and more like a falcon or eagle.

or stylized and not some crappy tribal piece Ive seen on google a hundred times. Something with character. I like colors in it, I know in the myth the phoenix is supposed to be a beautiful bird, I like some of the emblems, or phoenix tattoos with empty space.

if anyone can understand my muddled mess of brain puke please help me out, I would appreciate it so much
