Hey tattoo help please -

I am currently deciding on what tattoo to get, I want something meaningful, I was thinking of getting a phoenix tattoo either that or something more feminine like flowers going down my sides, it's just more a question of what flowers!
The idea of a phoenix is because everytime a phoenix dies, it rises from the ashes and I think that could be more of a special thing to have... I'm stuck.
Either of those or a fairy tattoo...
help!

i like the phoenix idea.. but make sure you make it original and unique to you :]
definitely not a fairy.. in my opinion they're really over-done and often very tacky.
..and our dreams will break the boundaries of our fears..

i say ditch the fairy i wanted that but in the end it looks a little silly. i got three stars on my hip and the Chinese symbol for happiness. i love it represents the three things i need to get there.
Good luck and dnt forget to post a clip of the final product! x

I really dont like the fairy thing.. in my opinion, they are more of a little kid's tattoo that you get out of the 50 cent machines.
I do like the phoenix though, but make sure you customize it to be your own and be meaningful to you.
Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment.
rest in peace daddy,
i love you & miss you so much.
taken.
It doesn't matter if the guy is perfect or the girl is perfect, as long as they are perfect for each other.

I love the phoenix idea personally. That would make a great tattoo and its not very common either. When you mentioned about the phoenix it immediately made me think of Harry Potter, sorry a tad random. DO you know where you would like to have the tattoo placed on your body? Good luck!

The phoenix idea is awesome, so many beautiful designs out there to influence you.
Speak to an artist first though, if you want flowers along side it make sure they are inkeeping with japanese tradition; otherwise your tattoo will emit bad chi.

I think the idea of a phoenix with fire shaped like flowers around it amazing! Then it could represent how the phoenix dies essensially, with a touch of feminine side.
