As A Phoenix

by Glenna on April 26, 2013

The Phoenix is a mythical creature that is reborn again from the ashes of its former self at the end of every life cycle.  It is one of the ultimate symbols of perseverance and rebirth and a favorite for tattoos.  This full back tattoo is quite nice as the feathers are allowed to cascade down [...]

Feather-Winged Fairy Tattoo

by Glenna on January 29, 2012

I’ve got to say,”wow” to this one. I really like the angelic look this fairy has. The clothing, wings, and skin have the typical angel characteristics to them. Yet this is a fairy, with a wand in hand as she blows upon the tips to light a magical glow to its star shaped end. Making the [...]

Phoenix Back Tattoo

by Glenna on January 18, 2012

A REALLY COOL Phoenix back tattoo! I love the charismatic detail put into the feathers of the bird, makes it real to the eye and more lifelike. I also admire the way the Phoenix is posed in a sort of pre-landing position. The Phoenix’s face is very serious as it gazes downward, with its talons sharp [...]

Fairy on the Moon

by Glenna on December 19, 2011

This is a fairy sitting inside of the crescent moon as she looks into its eyes, holding her legs, hunched forward, and with a smile. The style of the tattoo is very smooth, little color variation, and all around shading. The moon is nicely shaded on the inside as well as the outside, and surrounded by [...]

Fire-Bird

by Glenna on December 8, 2011

The colors in this tattoo are a very nice lighter blue and orange. The shading around the bird’s wings and tail are smoothed over the waters waves, making them look connected in each of the waves curved ripple. The heavy black outlines around the body of the bird help to emphasize it, while at the same [...]

Skeleton Princess

by Glenna on November 10, 2011

I do really wish I knew the story behind this tattoo…as she is certainly intriguing, interesting and different.  Her face is beautifully done, smooth contours and fine details in the eyes, nose and mouth bring her to life…well, not quite…but still! With flowing hair, her crown is slightly askew while her lantern earring dangles quietly. [...]

Eve In The Garden – Full Back Tattoo

by Glenna on October 31, 2011

While I’m not one hundred percent sure about it, this tattoo really made me think of Eve, in the Garden of Eden. The only thing I don’t see is the apple, but the woman is reminiscent of a 1930′s style woman, with a serpent winding around and facing her up on the shoulder, roses that [...]

Ancient Warrior

by Glenna on August 21, 2011

Okay, I labeled this “Ancient Warrior” because I’m not exactly sure what kind of heritage this particular guy is.  It could be a Medieval warrior – or it could basically be a made up kind of figure…the point is that it is a really cool tattoo! The layering of the scene caught my eye, with [...]

Egyptian Mummy

by Glenna on August 4, 2011

Ha! What a fun and great looking Egyptian mummy tattoo!  The sky is ablaze as it begins to set behind the pyramids, and as we all know, that is when the magic of Egypt begins to come to life.  Or something like that, anyway…  This mummy is ready for some mischief, as he grins and [...]

Gargoyle Cover Up

by Glenna on June 25, 2011

This guy really made a great decision to go with the new Gargoyle tattoo!  Not only is it a far cry from the former skull with horns and the strange little devil man on his shoulder, it is a sick Gargoyle scene!  The night sky above appears luminous, serving as a perfect backdrop to the [...]
