Full Back Piece Thread

[cvportagee]

how many sittings is that?

I will have to check on my computer/calendar at home, but I am pretty sure that it was 14 sessions varying from 2-4 hours with one or two a little longer (5-6). I am no small guy and it has a lot of detail.

Since my backpiece was posted on instagram I will re-post it here; although the background has not been started.

Done by Jill Bonny at State of Grace. The pics were taken from instagram. I may post better pics when healed. (Birds are old tattoos)

Well done! It looks fantastic! Nice little elements in there. Can't wait to see it when the background and sleeves are added :-)

Thanks @Lance!

I frickin love this back piece by Diego Azaldegui. Hoping to get something similar myself soon.

Beautiful Kannon back piece by Horiyoshi III

I'm a new poster here, and thought i'd say hi in this thread.

My backpiece, finished a couple of months ago, by the amazing Stewart Robson of Frith Street tattoo. It was an absolute pleasure getting this piece, and getting to spend time with such a knowledgeable and insightful guy; an experience I was very lucky to have.

Excuse the inlarged instagram pic, it's all I have

@Takeaway: Oh, YOU'RE that guy! Absolutely amazing tattoo. I really enjoyed watching the pics @Stewart Robson posted of the progress. The whole thing's great, but that background is particularly inspired.

And welcome to LST. Helluva first post.

[Takeaway]

@hogg thanks for the welcome man! This seems like a great community :)

You definitely won with that didn't you... Probably my favorite piece I have seen from Stewart.

@Takeaway Is that Stewart's tattoo signiture on the back of your leg I spy ?

[Takeaway]

@kylegrey - good spot! It is indeed, 'the Carving Bear', done in the manner of a printers stamp in white ink over the black wind bar. I think it's the second time he used it, the first time on an as yet unfinished Kintaro backpiece.

[Graeme]

@Takeaway Absolutely stunning backpiece, thank you for sharing it with us.

[ironchef]

@Takeway Simply breathtaking backpiece! The maple leaves are fantastic and the background sublime!

[ian]

@Takeaway fucking amazing dude, thanks for posting!!

[Takeaway]

Thank you to all for the kind words, it's my pleasure to wear this piece.

Although any props really should be directed Stewart's way, all I did was lay there!

[hogg]

All I did was lie back and think of England.

Fixed that for you. :)

There are some outstanding back pieces in this thread and it's ridiculous. @ironchef I think you were at King Ave getting work done on your back while I was having my second session with Chris. I think it was on a Tuesday some time back in May if I'm not mistaken. I wanted to get a closer look at it but didn't want to bother you guys. As for back pieces go here is one that O'Donnell just did. Not sure if it's from anyone here but this thing is unreal.

If it was a Tuesday in May, most likely it was me. You should have definitely stopped by and said hello and I would have loved to see your piece from O'Donnell up close. I'm off for the summer and start things up again in October with Mike. Will keep you posted if you want to drop by. I'm talking to Chris about a calf sleeve after my back piece is done.

Awesome! Also I'm not gunna lie I was secretly waiting for Stewart's signature to come out into the public.

I saw this one last night on the Tattooland instagram. Chris Brand, 108 Heroes of Los Angeles. SO GOOD.

At first glance I thought it was just cool, then I started laughing my ass off.

I think that Ben Grillo has one of these as well. I love them.

Ben has one as does Drew Flores from State of Grace...

Yep. I think Chris's dream is to do cholo versions of all 108 heroes of the marsh. The ones I've seen are, like all his stuff, incredible.

Here are two more of these that I can find readily on the internet... I would maybe roll my eyes at these if they weren't executed so fucking flawlessly. Really amazing tattoos. Facebook links, I hope that works.
