Designing a Cohesive Phoenix Half Sleeve
I'm looking to transform my existing phoenix tattoo into a half-sleeve, potentially wrapping around my shoulder blade to connect with a koi tattoo. I want the phoenix to remain the focal point with delicate surrounding elements. I'm exploring themes like animals (lions, owls), floral designs, mandalas, or even a subtle 'heart on my sleeve' playing card motif, but I'm open to ideas to create a cohesive and meaningful piece.
Stupid Knee Cap Piece I Love
I had this silly idea for a few months and finally decided to commit to it. Butch at Kind Tattoo in Nashville brought my stupidly loved knee cap piece to life.
Flying Pigs Symbolize Possibility
This tattoo represents the idea that anything is possible, even the seemingly impossible. The flying pigs are a reminder to never give up on dreams, no matter how far-fetched they may seem. It's a personal mantra inked on my skin.

Hellsing Family Seal Sleeve Progress
This hand tattoo, part of an ongoing sleeve, features the Hellsing family seal. I'm thrilled with how it's coming along and can't wait to see the finished piece.
