Phoenix




First shading session.  I'm liking the direction that it's going, but I will be breaking one of my cardinal rules on this one...
It is common to hear a request for "you know, mostly shading, but just a little color here and there".  It is my feeling that in most cases it is better to do a black and grey tattoo, or a color tattoo.  Trying to put just a hint of color in a grey shaded piece can look awkward or forced, and I try to never do it.
At first I shot down her idea for that effect, but then I got to thinking, and believe that we can make it work and keep us both happy at the same time...
