Orangutango Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 Wow @Hospitelli , glad that piece is on someone here! Going to be so good.

Cork Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 @Hospitelli Awesome hell scene. I love when the big deities split legs down either side of the butt, it just fits so damn well. @DevilMan I feel your pain! Both butt cheeks in one sitting is no fun. I hope you're at least enjoying leaving ink behind on every toilet seat you sit down on. @MikeL So black! That is going to be very classic looking once it's wrapped up. I'm really enjoying Rodrigo's style so far from what I've seen.

MikeL Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 @Cork thanks brother! Never enough black...one more session to go to finish tail. Should be able to knock out the tail and all the maple leaves on the 18th. After that I am not able to go to the end of June...too many family events in May and beginning of June...but only a few left to go. When is your next session with Dana?

Cork Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 @MikeL This sure is a process you have to be patient with. Sucks to wait until June. My next appointment is April 21st. It's been too long!

ThatGuy Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 I'm currently in the process of finishing a backpiece and have decided to continue with my arms straight away. As the same artist will be doing the work I am considering joining the backpiece with the arm tattoos. Any thoughts on this? The alternative would of course be to do the arms separately and have a space in between, but I quite like the idea of full coverage around the shoulder area. So, you guys who have both back and arms covered, have you joined everything together or kept it separate? All thoughts welcome.

SeeSea Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 So a follow-on to my concern re: background versus blowout on the fish. It was a fair amount of blowout. He said his goal was cover a large amount of space and since the outline of the fish wasn't intended to be a clean perfect outline and he knew there would be shading and darker sea/coral blending in up to it, he just drove a hard line and moved on. On ribs below my armpit on my lily-white middle-aged thin skin ouch. He said if that fish was to have no background with a perfect outline, he would have had me laying down on a table (instead of sitting in a massage chair) and taken a lot more time with it. So that makes sense - with the quality of work he did on the fine details of the snake and clownfish and especially the snake outline, I was surprised at this fish outline. But time/detail tradeoff detail makes sense to me, being a clueless client and all. Thanks for your encouragement, suggestions, virtual hand-holding, eye-rolling, etc. And the sea panther will always be a "go to" in case things get ugly :-) And now back to your regularly-scheduled program.

I've never seen a space purposely left between a back piece and sleeves. I can't even imagine what it would look like.

MikeL Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 @Cork no worries...plenty patient...as long as the project is completed this year :) Just hate having to knock out back sessions during the peak of summer. @Dennis thank you very much!!!

Cork Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 @ThatGuy Why would you leave a space? The point of the back linking to the arms, and potentially the front, is for the sake of flow. You can't get 2 Japanese sleeves and a Japanese back piece and not connect the 2.

No doing sleeves, but have decided to include the background anyway because I like the coverage. tatB 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/456-full-back-piece-thread/?page=51#findComment-91011 Share on other sites More sharing options...

SeeSea Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 ^^^ Wow it's nice to see this coming along! The colors look great!

Cork Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 First from Dana's Instagram, second from my own phone. So much coverage from this session. All the fire and the blue. The next few days are going to suck.
