Please do post some pics once it’s done. $400-450 sounds very cheap for the size piece I am envisioning and considering he can do it as soon as next week …. well, good luck.
Again I know I’m probably being unfairy pessimistic but I have a bad feeling about this and I honestly hope I’m wrong. I can’t wait to see pics after first session, good luck with it.
I would be very interested in seeing his work. Can you post a link to his portfolio?
As for the Tattoo Goo throw it away that stuff is terrible. If you use is we will be reading some Thread started by you titled “Why is my new tattoo doing this” . Never use any product with tattoo in the name.
The shop website is http://www.artworxtattoo.com but they’re still working on the site so none of their portfolios are up. I had to actually look at an album with his pictures in it at the shop.
I personally love Tattoo Goo; I’ve used it on almost all of my tattoos and they always heal up great. But different products work better for some people than others and not everyone’s going to like the same stuff.
Thank you for wishing me luck.

Sorry man I must of mixed you up with someone else. I thought this was your first. If tattoo goo works for you great. Good luck
I have six tattoos already. Nothing great, but they all have meaning to me. This will be my first large piece that will hopefully be an amazing bit of art. Again thank you.
Here’s the outline of my tattoo from the first sitting.
The lines look clean as far as I can tell. You can tell it’s nowhere near as detailed as the pic you posted, which I think is a good thing in this case. That was the major concern from most of us I think …. that your artist’s skill level wasn’t up to par w/ such a detailed piece – so a less detailed piece was a good way to go. Thanks for posting the first pic and please keep posting more as it progresses. 🙂
Totally stoked to see it filled in. Please keep us updated
doesnt look bad at all i just personally hate flames, i know it doesnt mean anything to you but just my oipinion and dont mind what i think cause its your tattoo not mine. the pheonix looks good though the lines are clean and seems to be a good starting point so far
Yeah the linework and overall design look good so far. Nice start. How long was the session?
I had to put them together. The line work is solid. but as in your reference pic a phoenix should be mean or mad or look aggressive. Yours looks like a calm dove or partridge. Maybe I’m just not seeing it yet. Thanks for sharing the progress.
Thanks, everyone. The session was only about 1 1/2 hours so he knocked it back from $200 to $150 since it didn’t take as long as he had been anticipating. You’re right, buttwheat. It doesn’t look very mean or aggressive which is the only thing about it that I don’t like. I was so afraid to breath during the session cuz I didn’t want to mess up the lines by moving my chest, lol. So for an hour and a half, I took shallow, even breaths until he moved to get more ink or something, then I took nice deep breaths.
Agree with the above comments. Congrats.
