Full Back Piece Thread

[sophistre]

The blues in that backpiece are unreal, @Cork. And there's just so much to see. The longer I looked the more little things in it I noticed. So cool.

Hey!

Finished my back piece by the great Marius Meyer last week. Take a look on this thread by @Iwar:

Enjoi!

I will post healed pictures in a couple of weeks I think..

Awesome @Cork. I just spent time staring and finding new stuff. Really nice design. And interesting flame placement. @.@

[Mick Weder]

This thought came to be after the last session - I've got this 9 month relationship - session after session.

It will eventually end - I don't know when -

What an interesting thought. but I realize I'll be sad when the process is over.!!!

This is true. My mate, it's now been 6 years. We have become such close friends that we have acknowledged it will never end.

I only have a little fill to complete back of neck (this w end), some colour fill on the butt cheek & upper thigh. Now only the feet to design and fill.

Our regular visits will continue, our Sunday morning cider and beer tasting sessions, the presence of like minded people going through the same experience of suiting out...and by going on your advice @SeeSea, we can still enjoy doing some relining, punching some more black over black for good times.

For me, it's not the end, just a new chapter in a lifelong friendship.

This thought came to be after the last session - I've got this 9 month relationship with this random guy, session after session. It will eventually end - I don't know when - and the "breakup" will occur - will I mourn? :-) What an interesting thought. I am so invested in this piece and it's dominated several aspects of my life (including that I haven't run a single race all year!!!), but I realize I'll be sad when the process is over.

For a microsecond I thought about spreading the sessions a little further out to prolong it, but then thought, no - let's get this thing over with!!!

You can always extend it down your legs. Then from a back piece to a bodysuit. Just think about it and let it settle into your head for a moment. Let's inject that idea and let it marinate. :-)

[OutOfIdeas]

Not gonna lie, I would be REALLY surprised if @SeeSea stopped at just a backpiece. There certainly wouldn't be anything wrong with that, but i wouldn't put money on it... :D

[a1steaks]

Looking great @Cork. I love when people do it all traditional style and start with the back. I wish I had been a little more patient when I was 18...

[SeeSea]

@Lance, @OutOfIdeas - oh you guys.... you are so bad. SO bad! Yeah, I swore only a backpiece, and here I am on Horitomo's wait list. :rolleyes:

At the very least, I've gotta do a major refill on the tattoo jar. This back piece cost a TAD bit more than I expected. Ooof.

I Had 3 hours of FUN today !!

Previous sitting !

This was the first sitting, now I had 3, all about 3 hours at a time.

[Cork]

@Kinglambert Keep us posted on your progress here!

[Shaggy]

You just have to love this thread. I don't come here as often as I should, but whenever I am over the constant sessions of getting work and think about taking a break I come here and have a look at all the progress everyone is making and I keep booking those fortnightly sessions. :)

[Kinglambert]

Will do. For those who haven't seen what's been done so far here's a pic

Looking good Stuart!

[Hospitelli]

Got started on the back again after taking a break for the summer. Finished the upper background and started on some color to my pleasant surprise!

[Cork]

That fire looks great!

[Shaggy]

The main progress of this weeks session.

Is great to see some more colour. Background is now done and it is all colour from now on. :)

[misterJ]

@Shaggy that came out real nice. Love the color choices

[Mick Weder]

That fire looks great!

I reckon! Simple, solid, Love it

[DeathB4Decaf]

So much amazing work has been posted. Easily my favourite thread and reason I signed up. Love all the progress photos and commentary. High five, ladies and gents.

[Shaggy]

Thanks @misterJ I have basically let Kian (Artist) pick all of the colours. I understood quite a while ago doing my sleeves that my idea of colours and what I think would look nice generally hasn't been quite right. My thoughts are I have trusted him to do this art on my body so his call on colours I will go with. He hasn't let me down yet. :)

[misterJ]

@Shaggy I have the same idea. I don't think I pick bad color choices, but I am far from being a pro so let the man do what he does best ya know.

[Cork]

@Shaggy I'm excited for you man. The color really transforms the piece.

[misterJ]

Gotta request any possible update. A while back someone posted a killer andre malcolm back of a bound women and flowers , any progress heard of on it??

@Hospitelli it's coming out strong, gonna be so nice when done

[Cork]

@misterJ I posted that, and I have not seen anything since. I took that from his Instagram.

[ironchef]

@Cork @misterJ Every time Andre Malcolm posts anything with a buttcrack or boobs, someone flags it and ruins it for everyone else. He is putting out some amazing work and I too want to see an update of that shunga back piece!
