Detailed blackwork tattoo of a graceful phoenix with outstretched wings and flowing tail, surrounded by roses on a back.

A blackwork tattoo design featuring a graceful phoenix in mid-flight, wings outstretched and slightly curved upward. The phoenix has a soft, gentle, and slightly cute expression—large eyes, a smooth beak, and elegant feather details. Its long, flowing tail feathers cascade downward in a vertical arc, designed to follow the line of the spine. Surrounding the phoenix are realistic blackwork roses in full bloom, with detailed petals and soft shading. The roses are woven into the wings and tail feathers, with swirling vine-like tendrils wrapping around the composition. The overall style is intricate black linework with fine shading, balanced between bold and delicate. The design is vertically oriented, ideal for an upper back tattoo with the tail flowing down the spine. No colour, only black ink. See more
