Obviously not a color tattoo so it can't convey it super well, but it means it to me and that's what matters.
I know my last one I posted had a decent amount of downvotes lol. From a technical and longevity standpoint, this seems like it is executed a lot better, but I still love both.
Edit: Oh I guess that one is a bit blurry. This one should be more clear. Not sure if this crowd will like this either haha.
Looks good :-) As someone with a (tiny) phoenix in black, I don't think it needs colour to convey what it's meant to be!
