tatB Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 This thread is awesome. I need 2015 to get here faster so I can start my back piece before I decide to do something stupid like use the money for a down payment on a house. semele, mtlsam, Graeme and 5 others 8 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/456-full-back-piece-thread/?page=52#findComment-91693 Share on other sites More sharing options...
cvportagee Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 And your back too? Have you posted pics in this thread? I posted a pic a while ago (because Jill posted it on her instagram), but I am trying to wait until finished to post it. It is in the perseverance book (page 104 I think if you have it) although in the book it is just Kumonryu without the background.

JoshRoss Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 This thread is so fucking awesome! Just got a couple hours done with Grime on friday and Saturday on my way home I stopped by State of Grace and ran into @cvportagee mid back piece session with Jill Bonny. Nice to see you bud! I was just in that morning. Hope to run into you guys sometime!

misterJ Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 hello- wanted to add my new work to the thread. I just sat through another double session with Mr. Rubendall. We finished the outline added a skull peony and started shading up the ribs and lower back hard. coming along quicker than I thought, but still slowly. EDIT: Thank god the shading hurts way less than the line work I'm so not sure I could sit through if it was worse. exume, Zillah, Boxing Gloves and 15 others 18 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/456-full-back-piece-thread/?page=52#findComment-92084 Share on other sites More sharing options...
tatB Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 I've recently fallen in love with this piece: Absolutely love the abundance of finger waves and the classic simple but powerful koi imagery.

misterJ Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 @BrianH I agree I have always been drawn to the simpler traditional And more powerful (IMO) images from japanese tattoo. I spent about 6 months collecting a folder of ideas and they were all so different. It's wild boiling it down to one sometimes tatB 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/456-full-back-piece-thread/?page=52#findComment-92123 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilhell Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 Some more on my back by Marius Meyer.

misterJ Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 @Wilhell I really like your back, what is the dragon holding onto. The scale work in the body is too good.

The scale work in the body is too good.Ps you're a bum, I need to get in shape lol Looks like the dragon is grasping the top of a Japanese ken, a traditional sword normally with a vajra handle. Think of the blade that Fudo holds, that's basically it. gougetheeyes and Cork 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/456-full-back-piece-thread/?page=52#findComment-92289 Share on other sites More sharing options...

misterJ Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 The rock work is rad! Thanks it was inspired from a few Horiyoshi II pieces. I am familiar with 1 and 3, but got schooled on 2 when it was being added on me which was cool IMO.
