Full Back Piece Thread

[CaptCanada]

This is a part of a full suit by the artist ,when you see the whole thing and particulary the spacing ,you are left with a really strong arguement against using filler.

Would you happen to know where a picture of the entire suit is located? Cause its already looking amazing and if they is more to it, that would be wonderful to see.

Sure,the legs have previously been posted on here I think by Petri (they alone made most people crumble to their knees in disbelief).I've found a wide angle shot of the full back and hamstrings ,and another of the chest in -progress .Pretty sure its all the same dude and also sans sleeves .

The hinges on the back's of knees are awesome. All of it is awesome, but the hinges look great in that photo. I am a big fan of symmetry. I am also a big fan of random tattoo placement, and this guy has a perfect marriage of both of them. I think that keeping the knees (front and back) the same pulls everything together.

Ship's propellers. Don't ask me to elaborate. I am not a sailor and the only thing that I really know about it is from a Sailor Jerry tattoo in the book "American Tattoo Master". I am sure that he wasn't the first to do it, but his is the one I am familiar with.

1) I bet those hinges hurt like f#ck 2) I'm pretty sure there are butt propellers in the 1001 Tattoos book-I'll see if I can find the pic when I get home. That guy is the epitome of getting tattoos for yourself-total opposite of the bro sleeve guys at the gym.

Twin screws, with the words "Twin Screws" over the right cheek and "Keep Clear" over the left cheek.

A sketch and photo of these appear in the book "Sailor Jerry Collins American Tattoo Master"

[Scott R]

thanks jade I never noticed the words. When I posted this piece I was so blown away by the other artwork I didnt really notice the screws till later

According to "Stoney" St Claire they were meant to help a sailors swim/propel them through the water if they ever went over board

Buddy Brian Grosz is on his fourth or fifth session on his back with Mike Rubendall. Looks like he's been going every two weeks and, even better, he's started a little blog to chronicle the adventure. He also added a little bit on cleaning up/aftercare.

@gougetheeyes

Good link.

A long-suffering partner is definitley helpful for aftercare and the back ... Unless you're pretty flexible. I could just about reach everywhere, but it would take me three times as a long to do as my GF.

[Kev]

Glad he posted about aftercare- always wondered about that.

[Stitch626]

Added that link to follow... I can't wait to start my back. *sigh*

[asradin]

@gougetheeyes That's an awesome back piece and a really cool blog. Although I don't agree with his theory on sleep deprevation. The session I hadn't slept for 30 hours before was not fun, but the following session where I got a lot of black shading done was a breeze. I think it was largely due to the decent amount of sleep I got before hand. Also I was worried about healing my back piece but I've so far found it simple enough. I've managed to wash every area of my back on my own and I don't put any cream on anything on it and it's looking good so far. Next session is 13th January. Can't wait...

I think we should start ending discussions about tattoos with "It will be til butt cheeks."
