Detailed blackwork tattoo design of a phoenix in flight with spreading wings and a long tail, surrounded by roses and swirling vines.

A blackwork tattoo design of a side-profile phoenix in mid-flight, wings flowing downward and slightly back, not raised. The phoenix has a realistic head and beak, with soft, expressive eyes—graceful and calm, not fierce or cartoonish. Its long, elegant tail feathers cascade downward in a vertical arc, designed to follow the line of the spine. Surrounding the phoenix are detailed blackwork roses in full bloom, with layered petals and soft shading. The roses are woven into the wings and tail, with swirling vine-like tendrils wrapping around the composition. The entire design is vertically oriented, ideal for an upper back tattoo with the tail flowing down the spine. Style is intricate black linework with fine shading, no colour, only black ink. See more
