phoenix session 8 of 12

after last week's killer rib tattoo session i thought i was going to be in for another excruciating session... but it was really very manageable and we accomplished everything that we set out to do. healing is progressing well too (with the exception of that problematic bit on the blue peony flower - but its also settling down and beginning to heal), and am pleased with the way things are going.

we completed the 'half-completed' tailfeather that runs from my armpit to my hip, as well as colored in the birdcage tattoo with the 2 small birds so that it would match with the phoenix piece. love the colors he used.

and then we completed the lower frontal tail feather that runs from my waist to the top of my right thigh.

so all that's left now is the right ass cheek, and then all outlines would've been filled in. there are another 3 sessions for my artist to add stuff, do all the finer detailing and intensifying the colors.

goodness! i'm so colorful! :-)
