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.

    Yeah, I tend to favor color on any phoenix graphic too.

    But when you have something this cool, color isn’t really vital, just a nicety.

    Besides, what matters with tattoos is that the person they’re on likes them, period. Doesn’t matter if it’s janky as fuck, if the person is happy, I’m happy for them. Since this one is not janky, I can be happy for you without that filter :)

      Thank you very much! :)

      I love that statement about tattoos too! There are a lot of tattoo subreddits on Reddit and a lot of people on there seem to love to shit on people’s tattoos unnecessarily. Lot of people on there critique the most minute details.

        There’s space for critique, but it has to be tempered heavily by the fact that ink is personal. And it really needs to be by invitation only because of that, imo.

        I always hated the tattoo subs on reddit because someone would just be showing their new skin art with joy, and folks treated it like either an afternoon at a gallery, or a dogpile. Sometimes both lol

          Yes exactly! I am still on reddit and I love trying to uploft the OP when people start shitting on them when they are self conscious with their new tattoo.

          But tbh I also love browsing the shitty tattoos sub lol.
