Have been on dA looking at Phoenix Tattoos, initally on behalf of a friend, but then because I found some truly beautiful artwork as a result of my searches...

The friend I mentioned has an old tattoo that needs covering - he's settled on the idea of a Phoenix, to represent new beginnings (his life is getting much better and is totally on the "up") but needs one that will cover a half-band of lettering across the top of his left arm.

I've been considering all the possible designs, gathering them in a folder for him to look at - and have to admit that some of them have quite tempted me to consider something I'd never even thought about before, because they are so awesome.

Could I ever really get a tattoo though? With such a fickle and capricious mind as mine, I don't think it would be right for me. Maybe if I decide to settle down a bit, one day.
