I'm looking at tattooes again, never did get the Dragon one I wanted...
This time I'm leaning more towards a phoenix though, don't know why I just am.

I've got a list of possibles (which knowing me will grow over the next few days) all urls at the moment but I may well get around to downloading them and posting the pictures here at some point. One thing I have discovered, it is far more difficult to find good phoenix tattoo designs than it is to find dragons.

1.
2.
3.
4 - which is actually an eagle...
5.

These next few are not Phoenixes or Firebirds or anything like them, they're ravens. I came across the first one in a general search on Celtic style images and it reminded me that they would also be remarkably appropriate for me.

6. Would need to be shrunk a bit and have the coins removed/letters changed.
7.
8.
9.

Back to Phoenixes and things:

10. This one is beautiful but way too big and rather too complex. A smaller, simplified version would be great.
11. I almost like this one but I want something more elegant and well...less chavish!
12 See this is pretty, or at least the actual phoenix and flames part is, but I'm wary about using it because of the group it represents.

And this one isn't even a bird but she caught my eye all the same.

I'm not sure how much I like any of these which is a sure fire indication that I shouldn't get any of them done. They are going in vaguely the right direction though, any of you arty types out there have something that might work or feel like drawing something feel free *bats eyelashes*
