Caitlin’s Phoenix Tattoo Story
Caitlin’s Phoenix Tattoo Story
This phoenix tattoo is very personal to me. The phoenix describes the struggles I have gone through in my life and trying to rise above them. It took 2 years for me to compile everything that I wanted in the tattoo. This is just the outline and I am currently getting color done. It will take quite a few months to finish since it is so large.

Looks like 2 square feet of regret.

It’s going to look beautiful coloured in; but it would look just as beautiful just as the outline- subtle and dramatic. It’s a wonderful work of art and you’re lucky to have it!

That is sheer beauty! The design and whoever is doing that tattoo are brilliant artists !!! Phoenix looks like as if it’s going to rise off !!

Wow You’ve just summed everything I wanted in my phoenix tattoo. Stunning so true and beautiful. And looking at the same size, I love the flow over the body. Must see the end piece. And hopefully the design and tattooist?

I’m SIMPLY DYING to see the finished product. I want a phoenix tattoo myself, and yours is one of the best ones I’ve found on the web. Hurry up and post those finished pics!!
(please.)

Oh, would you also mind disclosing the average cost? I think I’ll be doing something a little bit smaller, but I want the same high-quality work, and I want to know what exactly I’m getting myself into!

Amazing tattoo. I also have a phoenix about this size it is more up on my back though. I have been searching online for any other one that was as well done as mine and im happy to say yours is about the only one I have found. I love the vivid colors and positioning of the bird on your body, it flows very well!

Thanks to everyone for all the great comments! The cost was about $3,000 but my tattoo artist gave me breaks throughout the tattoo process. The artist is Wayne Lessard at Bodytech in Gainesville, FL. It took around 50+ hours.

I’m in love with the concept of what you did

This tattoo looks amazing, especially the coloring looks stunning.. the flow of the tattoo goes well with your body and Must say that the artist has done an excellent job with the entire piece… An amazing art work…
