Cork Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 @Graeme After people talking about your back... but not seeing a picture of it here, I was wondering where it was posted. I finally caught up on the latest tattoo lowdown thread because I was away last week, and now I see it! It looks so good. Just with lines that tiger has character.

I love what we've done so far, and that's just the start. I kind of wish it wasn't on my back so I could actually see it!

ironchef Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 Hung out with my buddy Joe today. He's like a mentor, older brother, super cool uncle all rolled into one. Joe's responsible for introducing me to Henning and putting me on the path of my ongoing tattoo journey. For fun we snapped off this pic of our Henning backpieces. Both our sleeves are also by Henning. Joe has awesome work from Tin Tin, Aaron Bell and Mike Rubendall as well. Enjoy!

SeeSea Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 Amazing @Eillin! I love how the anchor frames your back on the bottom - it flows so nicely! What an amazing design. I don't think you'll have to blow over this with a bad-assed panther.

Shaggy Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 Another progress shot. Did a bit of colour as I didn't fancy having new work on both sides of arse and thighs at the same time. I can't wait till we get away from the arse and thigh area. :( cvportagee, Graeme, Hogrider and 17 others 20 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/456-full-back-piece-thread/?page=62#findComment-98858 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cork Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 So solid @Shaggy That spot can get tiresome. @hogg dropped some wisdom on me that I'd like to share. Use deep breathing like you are trying to blow out candles that are 30 feet away. My abs are usually exhausted after a session of breathing like that, but it works.

Shaggy Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 Thanks @Cork Yeah I have to say I am pretty over the arse and thighs at the moment. I am dealing with the pain of the tattooing ok just sick of the healing side of things. Sitting on 1 side of arse, limping around at work, hovering over the toilet etc. Hopefully only about 2 more sessions of shading and an additional chunk of outline work on right thigh (due to an old tattooing not fading as well as the rest) and we will be returning to the back for colour which will be healing heaven. :) tatB 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/456-full-back-piece-thread/?page=62#findComment-98922 Share on other sites More sharing options...
hogg Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 Absolutely killer, @Shaggy. All the pain will be worth it and then some.

Shaggy Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 Thanks @hogg I am in awe of how it is turning out. Like you said the pain is worth it. I still enjoy it when you get home after a session and wash all the crud and shit off the new work and see the art progressing. For me that is about a 2-3 hour drive so by that time I am ready to see the latest progress. Is what keeps me going knowing that it looks great 1/2 done so imagine what it will look like when complete. The thing I love about serious work like a backpiece is that everyone who gets them doesn't do it on a whim and is prepared to commit to a big undertaking. They do the research, they spend the time and work out the artist best suited for them and the style of work they want. Because of all that research that they get an awesome piece of art. I have said it in previous post and will say it again, Since I have started my backpiece I now have alot more respect for people that get extensive work.

someotherguy Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 Here is mine, done by Erick Lynch. About 8 years old at this point.

bnannners Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 Was told I might fit in over here. Back piece done by Josh Damnit Classic Tattoo Upland CA. Took about a year and a half (slow and steady). Couldn't be happier with it. Tribute to cousin who passed.

rozone Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 Finally got some mediocre pictures taken of my Fudo Myoo backpiece done by Chad Woodley here in Vancouver. We're going to get started on the background in the fall, and I'm definitely looking forward to getting it all finished up! Also, sorry about my butt!

ThatGuy Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 Having had my backpiece for a few months now, I gotta to say that I keep loving it more and more. I wanted to get one for years, and I'm so glad that I finally said "fuck it" and went ahead. The only downside is that I have to keep looking at photos of myself to get a proper view of it. Can't wait to start filling up areas that I can actually see myself. Here is a recent photo from my holiday in Ibiza.

SeeSea Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 ^^^ Why is everyone with really awesome tattoos-in-progress talk about their "mediocre" tattoos? Self-deprecating is one thing, but come ON! I love the Fudo and dragon having sort of an eyeball at one another.
