    I need an honest opinion on this piece. It is a phoenix that is a coverup of a dark black tattoo.
    I feel like something else could be added to it to make it a better tattoo. I think the head of the phoenix needs something else added.
    What do you guys think?

    The tail feathers I also am unsure of. I think they need to be pointy feathers or have some darker colors in it.

    Welcome to the forum!

    The head seems a bit odd. I don’t know what you could add to it to improve it.
    Those tail feathers very strange.

    Good luck, keep us posted.

    these are pretty much the worst colors for a lazer right? Great

    Personally I think it’s awful, can’t see what you could really add to that other than laser.
    Good luck with it anyway

    Should have come to the forums before getting tattooed

    it’s such a big dark piece that I have to agree with the laser.

    For me I don’t like it, it looks like a blob of colour, sorry 🙂

    The head looks vulture-ish to me, maybe because of the fleshy color? And the tail reminds me of peacock feathers instead flame-like feathers that I picture in my head when I imagine a phoenix.

    When I think of a phoenix, I think of oranges, reds and yellow colors – like fire. This looks more like a peacock because of the greens and blues, and it kind of has a gryphon-like feel to it from the position of the bird’s body and claws.

    I’m not sure what else could be done to the head to make it look more phoenix-like. If anything, adding some plumage may make it look even more like a peacock.

    What do you mean by plumage? I’m going to a reputable artist tomorrow to discuss what can be done. I’m not sure he can really do anything to make it a nice looking tattoo because there’s so much dark ink. Hopefully he has some sort of idea what to do. Otherwise I’m getting lazered.

    I winced at this one only because I know what a bad coverup consists of. I should know, I had one and I’m still in the process of getting it all worked out. This Saturday is another session for myself as a matter of fact. I now have a 6th sense establishing when to pull the trigger in a nice piece. Good luck dude, I hope you get it straightened out eventually.
