Full Back Piece Thread

[Vinn]

There's mine completed in 2007ish. I now wish it were more detailed but at the time I wanted the biggest back piece with the least amount of time and effort and money. So it goes. <img src="http://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=12254"/>

Love this! So bold and readable, great design.

Realized I posted in the wrong thread, was aiming for this one haha...

@mmikaoj great write up!! and i empathize with you so much re your headspace - traveling with a fresh tattoo in a difficult place, and then not having any peace or solitude to get your mind to where it needs to be to handle the hours of tattooing! It's crazy man!! And tattoo fever...any session over 4 hours and i get sick. It really sucks. I empathize with your tattoo fever as well.

You are a beast. You have a well-earned backpiece, that's for sure. It looks great. Congrats J!

@beez Thank you a lot! Mindset has a lot to do with it, it's really fascinating to think about. Actually now that you liked my other post I realized I put this one in the wrong thread.. Going to fix it.

Here's an update on my back piece from my last session with Fill Wood @ Black Crown Tattoo in Leeds. I'm getting close the end- maybe another 2 or 3 sessions to finish Hoichi's gown, the detail in the Biwa and a few other bits.

About 10 hours in. By Tim Croke at Second Skin, Derby. Like to hear what everyone thinks of it!

Great Flying Spaghetti Monster, Jondix's stuff is out of control.

Second session with Chad Koeplinger! Done at the Grim Reaper Tattoo Shop in Roma! Great Shop, great guys!

[ItsNewport]

Chad is such a beast and that is a great example of just how good he can be. I remember seeing the first session pop up on his instagram and it was a stop scrolling and pay attention moment.

finally a decent pic of my backpiece. It was really difficult. Even in this one the hands aren't shown at their best.

[misterJ]

Flo that is gonna be so crazy when all is said and done

[ItsNewport]

Session 3 done, backpiece done (although we have already talked about adding background - my bank account and body both screamed in unison). Such a cool experience, i've met some awesome people, had some great times and i've come out of it with a tattoo that i have to keep reminding myself is actually mine. To think that 6 months ago there was nothing, it's crazy!

Already posted in the latest tattoo thread but i had to bring it to my chums in the backpiece thread! I now looking forward to sitting back and seeing what the rest of you guys are getting, bring em on!

@ItsNewport Man that is awesome. I really hope I can get something from Marius some day.

[exume]

@ItsNewport congrats! You've got a stunning piece there, and just 6 months? Champion.

Welp, I booked my first appointment (July 14) to start a full back piece with Kelly Edwards today ( https://instagram.com/kellyedwardstattoo ). I'm 56% so excited I probably won't sleep until the appointment, 44% scared shitless. I have a lot of general ideas for potential incorporation, but I feel like I'm going to annoy the poor man to death.

Most painful place I've been tattooed so far is collarbone and near the nipple... so this should be a riot.

44% scared shitless.

you want to be 100% shitless during the ass sessions.

[introspect]

you want to be 100% shitless during the ass sessions.

This is so true! The ass is a brutal place to get tattooed. So glad I never have to go through that again!!

[DeathB4Decaf]

Just to further pipe up on the whole all is brutal commentary. Finished shading my ass and right thigh on Saturday. Currently still dreading sitting, then standing, or going to the bathroom. Have fun!

[Isotope]

Hahah, actually the plan is to stay above the cheeks.

[Cork]

@Isotope I found around the nipple to also be pretty bad, so you aren't going to get any surprises. Looking at Kelly's Instagram, it doesn't seem like he can convince anyone to go full ass!

Lucky you! I predict all sorts of awesome.

Had my final session with Fil Wood @ Black Crown Tattoo in Leeds and I'm totally drained.

Check him out at https://instagram.com/fil_wood/

I'll post more pics in the future once it's healed and touch up have been done, but for now I'm done and ready to jump in a bathtub full of bep

[exume]

@Kinglambert love it! Congrats!

[Kinglambert]

Thanks. I'm super happy with it and already planning a full leg piece

[Diehardonvhs]

Nice one for finishing! Looks great! I cant wait to join you...
