The Phoenix Enhanced

I am scanning my blog site this morning because I need a break from my tedious job and found out that I never posted my newly re-vamped tattoo. I realized I wanted more fire on my Phoenix because the first one wasn't that "bright" enough for me. So after taking a lot of consideration and saving moolah, I contacted my favorite tattoo artist Alain of 55 Tinta and scheduled a session.

I told Alain this exact words... "Hindi ako kuntento sa apoy, pwede mong sindihan!" He shrugged and laughed at the same time and asked me who did this. I said, it was one of my spur of the moment so I didn't get exactly what I want. 

He then started pouring alcohol on my back and sketching the "Fire" on my Phoenix. After a few minutes, I heard the buzzing sound of his tattoo gadgety thingy. I knew it was GAME ON! I can never get used to it. I am nervous like hell. I took a quick swig of my Red Horse and gave him the go signal.

After 2 and a half hours.... my tattoo that looks like this,


became this....

I am happy with the end result. Despite of the pain and the shaking I love how Alain enhanced my Phoenix. 

Now, looking at the pictures makes me remember that I wanted more. Well, not more-more but one last HOORAH before I hit twenty seven. So I am currently scanning every tattoo websites and look book for designs I wanted and started sketching my own.
