Full Back Piece Thread

[DevilMan]

Yeah, I already have a couple of appointments booked at a two week interval.

At first I was planning to go slow on my backpiece (because of the cost :) ) and had planned to finish it somewhere next year, but then I heard my tattooer is planning on moving back to Argentina or possibly moving to Spain so that plan changed rather quickly :-)

[Cork]

Oh shit, good luck getting it finished in time!!

[Mick Weder]

Fkn awesome back tattoo DevilMan!

That's the way mate, smash it out every couple of weeks. You'll be stoked when it's complete!

[MikeL]

@DevilMan best of luck getting it finished...be strong...back is looking killer so far!

Very awesome tattoo, @peterpoose ! I haven't seen a black and grey piece that I have liked in a while.

Thank you mate:)

Looks great Peter!

Ugh anxiety. I have my next appointment in a couple hours. I'm always afraid I'll tap out after 45 minutes, haha.

Good god that snake is fantastic!

[DevilMan]

Great looking snake man!

I've got another appointment in 1.5 hours.. hopefully we can do a 5 hour shading session :)

[DevilMan]

Well, we didn't manage to make it 5 hours, I gave up after 3.5 hours :)

But we did cover a lot of skin in those three and half hours, so I think we did OK :)

Next session in two weeks... can't wait ;-)

This session we did all the green. The end is near.. By Marius Meyer

I saw this collaboration one-shot backpiece by Yang and Ching from East Tattoo in Taiwan, done at the Paris convention, and thought it was worthy of this thread.

Ching did my back and one sleeve, so obviously I'm a fan of their work, but I thought this was really funky.

You can see a little of Ching's Filipino Leu backpiece here. The rest of his stuff is mostly by Yang.

Pics from their Instagram.

I'm swear I'm not trying to be insensitive, but is he missing his right hand?

looks like it might be just above the left ass cheek

[Diehardonvhs]

Yeah, he's one handed - incredibly talented even with a pretty drastic disability!

[RoryQ]

Yang is indeed one handed. Quite amazing how he still manages. There's a little video of him floating around and you can see that he has found ways to use other parts of his body to help him do things like set up machines. Pinching it between his legs, using his chin etc.

He told me he feels like he gets a little tired doing long sessions but if you compare his work to other people's it's obviously not holding him back at this stage.

[Hands On]

wow.. I was way off... looking at the dragon and not yang. my bad!

[Cork]

Last session for a while now. Drove on as long as we could before shop closing time. Fire, robe designs, more hair, details on the faces.... lots of little thin lines for fun!
