Basically, he has full freedom of how he wants to do it, I just gave him certain qualities the pheonix should have and how it should look like.
My main request to him is, that a lot of his work other than like 3 artworks hes done looks very black which I dont like, but he has done a more "grey" tone, the way I like it.
These two photos is just amazing, so ill pretty much request it in those tones. other than that he has full freedom!

ok.. well it looks like you have no business asking us anything and should put your complete faith in Michael! 😅 from the look of his portfolio, you should have nothing to worry about.
my updated advice - go get tattooed as soon as possible (3/4, full sleeve, palm sized, full body, whatever!) then come back and some post some pics! 😁

It works either way. I have big pieces. Both my sleeves and chest panels were planned out as were both my legs, which connect all the way up to my chest panels.. That's just one way to go. 

welcome to LST! 
i think it depends on what the subject matter is and how big the rest of the objects in the tattoo are going to be. If it's a buncha small things, then adding more small things to the last 1/4 is fine. If you're getting a huge dragon or tiger that takes up 3/4, adding something small in the last 1/4 might look like an afterthought. going for the full sleeve right off the bat allows the artist to plan and gain balance. then again, if you already know what you might get in that last 1/4, you might let the artist know your potential thoughts so that they can plan ahead in their minds to make it work well later.
care to share what you're thinking about getting and what artist will be doing the work? this thread currently has too many words and not enough pictures for my simple IG fed mind. 😃 

I think it's whatever you're most comfortable with. Me personally, I only have a half sleeve. At the time, I never considered getting my whole arm done. But it's something I strongly consider now. I'd probably just go back to my artist when I'm ready and ask if he could work on something with me. I don't think it's that big of a deal. In hindsight, yeah, I guess I would have preferred planning it all out, but it's not the end of the world. 🤷‍♂️

there are no rules, just do what ever YOU want , it's up to you if you want a sleeve of all the same style or like me, just get what moves you that month.
I have full leg & arm sleeves and I am a mess of many different styles and genres , and I wouldn't have it any other way.

Just do you mate

all the above, and if you want to keep the option open - and the artist who is going to do the initial work might be your choice for future work as well - talk to him/her about it in advance. My half sleeve was done with that communication in advance and when the time comes that artist will be able to pick up where he left off years back. 

I had two half sleeves, then my artist finished both arms out into sleeves. There are many ways to go about it.
