I was adopted into a wonderful family as a child. I recently started my search for my biological family. In the past year, I have found all but one of my biological family. The Phoenix on my back represents my re-birth this year through the whole process. This tattoo was done by Mike Marcel at Notorious Tattoo Gallery in El Paso, TX. This piece is probably my favorite piece yet. It is of great meaning to me. The other tattoo in the photo is a fist with the words "In His Grip" underneath. A memorial tattoo.
