Phoenix Backpiece

Actually really officially finally finished the Blue Phoenix.

I thought we were just going to add the eye and a small peony bud on the shoulder, but we ended up doing a full size peony on the arm to complete the look.

I'm really happy that she wanted that there and stoked on the tattoo as a whole.

It's been a fun year doing this one.

It's strange seeing someone so often on a regular schedule and then all of a sudden being done.

Time to work the next big piece into the rotation and keep on truckin'...

Today was the big day...started the other dragon.

Still plenty of work to be done, but it feels pretty good to start seeing the other side coming together.

It was satisfying to get it on there, but a very tough session.  The pen kept wiping off and there were some very difficult angles to work with when it was all stretched out, but we pulled it off.  I find as a right handed person, it is much easier to tattoo the left ribcage on a client than the right...(like I don't have to worry about my elbow being in their crotch the whole time).
