Phoenix Tattoo sleeve concept, first draft. Two directions I can choose from here! One make it new style tribal and very bold or mix it with Japanese style to make it very detailed. I might try both directions. As all my phoenix tattoos, I play with growth of shapes and textures. Possibly including natural elements. This design unfolds around the arm so that the phoenix becomes a wing or a shield. This could be matched very nicely with a dragon on the other arm. The back of the sleeve reveals the softer details such as the tail. If the dragon is still a more popular tattoo designs. As we speak the phoenix remains my favourite symbol.
This is a piece in progress. Celebrating life’s forces when subconscious and conscious unite. Set at what could be perceived as a sunset or a sunrise. The mysterious time where the light shine with all its beauty revealing the sacred pink that appears at every start and end of day, where colours and shadows play on our minds. The powerful shift from day to night, or night to day, a sacred moment, being one with life, we can shift and embrace our goals. The back of the piece is an underwater scene. You might be able to see a fragment of the koi. I am looking forward to tattoo this one when I meet the right person! This is the first draft for that concept.
I am selling this one for $150.00 plus delivery. If you are interested, please contact me.

Japanese Koi Tattoo, Sleeve Study
Japanese Koi Sleeve Study. I wanted to study Horimouja’s Kois while giving it my style. Event tho I call this a sleeve design, The focus has been on the chest panel, Feeling the growth of the elements from the bottom to the top. You’ll notice a part of a dragon’s body on the right hand side. This in relation to the Koi’s potential of becoming dragon when climbing up a waterfall. Sometimes also reffered to as a koi on Earth is a dragon in Heaven. I did not feel like using a koi/dragon shape to indicate the transformation. I feel that transformation as a metaphor can happen instantly. You could also imagine the two ‘entities’ living in ‘parallel’ dimensions, at the same time reflecting each other while both maintaining their physical appearances (All is interconnected). Giving you the feeling that you are still seeing the Koi but the dragon is present and defined. Anyway, Just playing with an idea. It could be a Koi at the front an Dragon at the back. Enjoy. I feel it’s incomplete as a sleeve and more details should be included as a matter of personal style, but I really enjoyed the study and the flow! Enjoy! Y.
