Thanks for the replies. Its not actually my first tattoo. My first was a reasonable sized tribal on the top of my left arm reaching onto my shoulder. I waited till I was 26 for that one and waited nearly another 8 years for the second. I wanted to be absolutely sure of what I wanted. Its just unfortunate that I got to the point that I had made my mind up and got to eager. Oh well. I’ll keep this updated as to what happens next with the phoenix. (Once I have the spare cash to get it sorted and find someone to do it.)
