Full Back Piece Thread

[Brady]

This is becoming something of a habit for me to say, but..........

Here is something a bit different to what you regularly see on this site.

I know it isn't going to be to everyone's taste, in fact the artist has a bit of a love/hate style.

The only tattoo that means something to me as it represents my working life. (most of my tattoos are simply because I like them).

The artist is Gray Silva who is based in Nottingham UK.

This was my second tattoo, after a crappy Taz that I picked off the wall when I was 16.

Took around 50ish hours in sessions between 3-7 hours and around 18 months to complete due to financial restrictions and various other reasons.

I really like it mate, made me smile seeing the big double decker!

Really like this back piece from Matt Mooney. The skull is very Grime I think but he definitely has his own thing going on which is dope.

Thanks for that. Now following him, too.

I like the Guyver painting on the left...oh the memories

No way!? Could it be possible that we have another Guyver fan on the board other then myself? I love the anime and the movies! I mull over the idea of getting a guyver head done on the top of my foot every now and then again. I think it would be cool as hell just don't have a clue on who'd I want to do it.

I have all the anime downloaded, including the reboot from several years ago. Also have copies of Hobby Japan which contained all the plastic figure models. I remember building several of the soft vinyl models back in high school. Great stuff.

Just finished my latest session adding this Tiger to my back piece to cover the wolf I had lasered. Still need another sitting to finish the phoenix wing and fill in a few gaps !! Nearly there !!! All by Ray Wewerka Flaming Art Tattoo

I can't remember if I mentioned, I'm headed up to see GRIME for a session on my back Sept. 19, I'm rolling up with my boy @Iwar, he'll be starting his back with back to back sessions Sept. 20 and 21st!! Shit's coming up pretty quick now! :D

[Cork]

@DRABFURS are you getting color on that dragon and the ladies?

I've got my next session coming up on Monday. Dana is traveling for most of October and early November so we have a breakneck pace set for September. It's going to be some awesome progress. I hope to have all the wind done.

[DRABFURS]

No real plan to colour dragon or girls CORK, I prefer black and grey but felt the addition of colour in the phoenix and Tiger just had to be done and I think it works pretty well.

@Cork that is awesome!

You can stop working out altogether and grow a big ol' gut and it'll be fine because the awesomeness of your back will compensate.

Hahaha. I always tell my wife that I should just let myself go and get a big round belly to tattoo. I think stomach tattoos look better if you're really thin or really big. I'm in an awkward middle ground!

BEER is your friend.

Some of the guys in Kuniyoshi's Suikoden prints have bellies and they all look bad ass. So why am I going to the gym everyday? Think I'll head to the ice cream isle today instead. And I can't wait to see your back colored, @Cork. Same for a lot of you who have posted your backs.

[bongsau]

Getting psyched! As fate may have it, I may be getting started on my turtle shell next month...looking forward to it (not looking forward to it) and making a contribution to this epic thread!

[Cork]

That about sums it up, haha!

Also Phil Holt and this guy is actually the brother of the guy in the last photo:

(and this was this guys first tattoo):

I will never cease to be amazed that people this awesome exist.

[NERD RAGE]

I'm sure it helped that his brother was already working on a body suit. Still though, I wish I had done the same.

[Cork]

Those both look cool. I'm not really a fan of the first one just because it seems very heavy on the right side and it sort of looks off balance. He needs a heavy sleeve on the left arm to achieve bodysuit homeostasis.

[Graeme]

Those Phil Holt tattoos are so fucking good. He has this amazing one in his portfolio (actually, he has a lot of amazing ones in his portfolio) of a full front...neck to front of thighs...with a dragon and a kind-of biomech skull that is INCREDIBLE.

This was the guys first tattoo!
