Artist's Comments

Yup! This is what my back looks like now.

It's a Phoenix, just with different colors. My own design, with inspiration from other artists, since I don't do a lot of birds. It has a lot of personal meaning aswell.

Done by a american guy named Elton, who works in "Flaming Heart Tattoo" in Trondheim, Norway. About five hours of work on my shoulder.

Tried to do a better picture, but it's so dark! It was either strong light or no light. Oh well... And yeah, I'm really fond of being a model, you can probably tell... :paranoid:

Very nice - I like the colors you chose they do so much for the design. To me it always means more when you design it yourself. :)

Thank you!
Yeah, the colors were chosen very deliberately. Phoenixes are usually red and yellow, the "fire" colors. That wasn't really me, I'm more of a nature type of person, so I went for those instead. The tattoo artist did a faboulous job with the colors aswell, that's his speciality.

Oh? What does it mean, if you don't mind explaining? :)

I'll be getting this: [link] He was my first greyhound, Guy, who died this past December. It's an outline of the only drawing I did of him while observing him (we only had him about a year), and the number is his right ear tattoo. :heart:

Well, it's a Phoenix so it's about rising from the ashes. Handling some bad stuff, and getting out of it as a stronger person. quite accidentally my appointment with the tattoo artist was the week after I went to London do join a Lightning Process course to get rid of my cronic pain and ME/CFS, which I did with flying colors. So it's a symbol of my new beginning as a positive and happy person.

Aw, that's a good reason to get a tattoo. It's great when the tattoo has personal meaning, and isn't "just" a pretty picture. Sorry to hear about your dog, it's heartbreaking when you only get to keep them a short while... It will make a good tattoo, I think. :)
