This is the first (major) step in my eventual full sleeve, a Phoenix named Marty McFly on my left biceps. The color isnt super strong since it is still scabbed over in this pic. This amazing 100% custom piece was done by Shawn at Odd Duck Tattoo and Gallery in Henniker, NH.
It looks like it's coming along beautifully. I would only say that the contrast should be beefed up in the overlaps of the feathers to make everything pop out more. Great start!!
