Japanese phoenix in guys sleeve tattoo

While many people choose a phoenix image as the main focal point of their tattoo, this guy chose to incorporate a phoenix into a larger sleeve tattoo. The arm tattoo features a pretty large and colorful phoenix, inked in yellow, green, blue and orange, in addition to other images, including a pink flower and a white flower with green leaves. The rest of the sleeve tattoo is inked in black and white, which really makes the phoenix and flowers stand out against the guy’s skin. Although the phoenix in this arm tattoo isn’t portrayed in fire colors, legend has it that the phoenix lived for hundreds of years, setting itself on fire when it became tired and being reborn as it rose from the ashes.
