DevilMan Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 My back is now officially done! :cool: We had a little 1 hour session today, which was totally brutal unfortunatly, probably a lot of places weren't healed enough from the previous session (about a week and half ago ;-) ). Some statistics : My backpiece was done in a 6 month period in a total of 31 hours :cool: Avery Taylor, kimkong, SStu and 7 others 10 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/456-full-back-piece-thread/?page=60#findComment-97319 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaggy Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 That is very quick. I wish I was at that stage with mine. I am 33 hours in and only have outline and 3/4 of the background done. It looks great, congratulations on finishing.

Wilhell Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 Yesterday, after two years in progress, Marius Meyer finally finished my back piece. It was 6 painful well worth hours. Going back for a touch-up in the belly plates and white in eyes/claws/teeth. @Iwar has some cool footage from the session that he maybe will post, I think? tatB, cvportagee, ironchef and 31 others 34 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/456-full-back-piece-thread/?page=60#findComment-97474 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got through 4 hours of lining the back and butt, next session lining the thighs and hopefully some background. hogg, abees, Iwar and 7 others 10 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/456-full-back-piece-thread/?page=60#findComment-97577 Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrToby Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 So Monday was the second session on my dragon back piece. There were definitely some interesting moments in it that were less than fun, but I am very happy with the progress and can't wait for the next session at the start of September.

Cork Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 So many lines! Looks great @MrToby How long are your sessions? Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/456-full-back-piece-thread/?page=60#findComment-97741 Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrToby Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 @Cork You are correct there are definitely a lot of lines. Some of them were less than fun, especially around the base of the spine. The appointments are booked for 3 hours at a time but I reckon with drawing time we end up with about two and a half hours of tattooing so we're maybe 5 hours in at this point.

Shaggy Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 I thought it was about time I posted my recently in progress backpiece, started end of Feb this year. This pic is about 36 hours in progress. I am quite tall and also have a bit of extra meat around the "love handle" area so is a big amount of skin to cover. I have been doing constant 3 hour sessions every 2-3 weeks with 2 x 6 hour sessions thrown in. Generally have been pretty good with each session but I have to say left thigh background shading for some reason sucked incredibly, probably one of the least favourite sessions of all my new work. Strange thing was the right thigh shading a week later (not shown in pic) was easy. I just noticed btw the snakes body going across my arse does line up, it looks like it doesn't but must have been the way I was standing in the pic. It was taken after the left thigh shading session and I was not a happy camper. :) Also just attached the outline after the 1st 6 hour session. mtlsam, jimmyirish, suburbanxcore and 23 others 26 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/456-full-back-piece-thread/?page=60#findComment-97758 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaggy Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 Looks great so far! Who's doing it? Thanks Iwar, Kian Forreal owner of Authentink in Surry Hills Sydney is doing the work. Love his work and a great guy to boot. Unfortunately on my back he has had to work around 3 previous tattoos which I have had laser removal on. Already without it being finished and colour added I struggle to see 2 of the pieces and the 3rd is being covered next session. :) tatB, sighthound, Iwar and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/456-full-back-piece-thread/?page=60#findComment-97760 Share on other sites More sharing options...
