suburbanxcore Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 Because this thread makes me kinda jealous, I don't check it as much as I should. @DevilMan I like the fox a lot the way it is. There's a lot going on in that piece, and that lets it breathe a bit. @misterJ I can't wait to see how this progresses. @MikeL I feel like I missed some progress shots along the way, and I love how it's coming together. Pretty burly and super readable. I love it. Remind me, who is doing it?

Cork Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 I agree with everyone else so far @DevilMan The fox looks great. Your skin is a perfect pale white so it makes it look like the foxes breast is done. That's supposed to be a compliment..... haha. @misterJ Not moving for 2.5 hours is a good sitting. Hopefully you ride that excitement all the way til the end and you don't start to get worn down. Great to hear that you're going to the thighs. Solid decision. @MikeL Now that I can see the bigger resolution, I can see why he's not keen on keeping the olive as is. Brightening that up with some other green will certainly add a little flavor. I love those robe designs. MikeL 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/456-full-back-piece-thread/?page=59#findComment-96693 Share on other sites More sharing options...
misterJ Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 @Cork thanks, and this is something I never pictured saying to another guy. looking at your butt makes me nervous. The way Rubendall has been packing in solid ass black, I can only imagine how brutal it's going to be below the waist. I don't know if I will go simple extension of the background with maybe a flower or two, or add some more features. He said my thighs and butt are roughly another half back piece so I think that leaves me open for some serious options.

MikeL Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 @misterJ thanks man! Looking forward to seeing progress with you back piece. Go to the thighs and don't look back. By the way...thought the area around the love handle area hummed a little more than the area you are worried about. Just make sure he uses a rotary so you don't hear it coming :) @suburbanxcore thank you brother! Some of my progress shots are in the thread but not all of them. Rodrigo Melo of Northstar Tattoo NYC is doing the work. @Cork next round of green should put it on point...can't wait! Kept the patterns to the minimum, colors as few as possible, and strong.

Lance Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 Oh god why does no one lie to me! Butts not really that bad. It's that base area where butt and thigh meet. Now THAT's an experience! Ha ha! Btw, as been said these back pieces are all looking really good!

DevilMan Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 @MikeL I really like your backpiece! Really bold and strong, and very readable, great work! Btw, I hope we don't enter the monthly contest in the same month, I would like to win once :) As for my 'blank' fox, I'm really okay with it as is, it looks good as a whole... and my artist wants it to be this way... who am I to argue ;-) I'm already thinking about the period after next weeks (last) session.... no more bi-weekly appointments, no more pain, no more healing... I'm sure going to miss these last six months :) Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/456-full-back-piece-thread/?page=59#findComment-96709 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mick Weder Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 @Lance Fuck oath. Where butt meets thigh is mmm, memorable. All these back tattoos are nothing but awesome. Respect.

tatB Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 I'm pumped. Love new work. I think you have said before but would you mind sharing your current ideas? The current idea is koi, skulls, water, and Mike's choice of flowers/leaves. Sometimes I imagine a dragon though. suburbanxcore, Fala, Graeme and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/456-full-back-piece-thread/?page=59#findComment-96799 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graeme Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 Less than a month until I start mine, but I'm going to stop reading this thread because y'all are making it sound like tattoos hurt.

misterJ Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 @BrianH are you going to Rubendall? (what what!!) I will so awkwardly meet you lol I love my flowers but I want maple leaves on my front... sounds killer, and I have heard these rumors that dragons kick ass. So either way you will be super happy tatB 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/456-full-back-piece-thread/?page=59#findComment-96807 Share on other sites More sharing options...

suburbanxcore Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 This thread is getting out of hand. First a rumor that tattoos hurt, and now one that says dragons kick ass?

ironchef Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 Funny and ironic....I'm reading the latest posts on this thread as I'm watching RED DRAGON on cable. The icing on the cake? As most of you know, I have a dragon on my back...from Rubendall. HA! @misterJ @BrianH PS. Yes, it hurt...a lot.

SStu Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 Oh god why does no one lie to me! Ha! Because it's so much better to get started knowing you are going to get TORCHERED and then being relieved that it's really only just terrible, then to go in thinking it might be pretty bad and finding out it's REALLY TERRIBLE. semele and Graeme 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/456-full-back-piece-thread/?page=59#findComment-96849 Share on other sites More sharing options...
misterJ Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 Torture aside got the call about a cancelation today. Picked up another 2 and a half hours tomorrow night. Really hoping this finishes background off. Would make me so damn happy to know color is incoming tatB, ironchef, suburbanxcore and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/456-full-back-piece-thread/?page=59#findComment-97161 Share on other sites More sharing options...
misterJ Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 Finished up my left side. Background is down to a big wave in the middle of My butt and a few windbars on my right armpit.

misterJ Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 Yeah, you say that, but you must be forgetting you said you were going down to the thighs! Yea but we are finishing this before extending it. So it's like a big part 1 then part 2 @suburbanxcore thanks. Some guy asked him for a skull peony and didn't get it so he added it to me. His loss because I really like it. tatB and suburbanxcore 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/456-full-back-piece-thread/?page=59#findComment-97230 Share on other sites More sharing options...
