Phoenix Sleeve

About this design
The Phoenix (Ho-ō) is often depicted as a hybrid creature, combining features of a peacock, pheasant, rooster, and crane, with its plumage representing the five virtues: benevolence, purity, propriety, wisdom, and gentleness. It is considered a protector and patron, and historically, it was featured on imperial emblems, signifying its high status and sacred nature.

Artist notes
Concept design-this means the tattoo will be based off this piece, but there may be some variation based on your body. It will extend onto the chest. Certain elements will be drawn on to fit. This design will be completed in multiple sittings. I would estimate it to take 20-25 hours total. Expect to sit at least 4 hours for the first sitting.
