[RoryQ]

His back is certainly big enough to fit that kind of panorama on!

All of these are by the super talented Trevor McStay Dynamic Tattoo

I was about to say "How can there be no Judd Ripley in this thread?" and then saw that Perez had posted something awhile ago ;) so here is a bit more

I think the back piece is really one of my favorite things when it comes to meeting other people with lots of coverage...

My tattoos on my back are my favorite, and it just sucks I can't see em... but that's what a photo is for right, so here goes...

Top Chrysanthemums were by Casey Corklic Garland, TX, and the Jigoku Dayu was done by Doug Love, Santa Cruz, CA..

And of Course, theres a cover up or two. . .

That is some old Trevor McStay work. I like his work a lot, especially what he is doing now.

It is quite old indeed. Unfortunately it was all I could find... if you have any new stuff of his PLEASE post it! I might go for a search now and see what I can find

[Duffa]

So, I feel a little bad about having only shown old Trevor McStay work as I'd forgotten about that thing called Myspace? So here is an update :cool:

These aren't exactly back pieces... but who really cares in this instance?

Here's a closer picture of my back.. The last ones I posted I now realize were reversed.

[Iwar]

That panther is badass! Are you adding background to this?

[Ursula]

I'm just gonna get other shit around it i think. I'm probably going to do 4 medium sized tattoos as oppose to two huge side pieces because I just don't have the room for them. So like one on each side under the arm pit and then one on each side in the lower section with probably not much around my waist. I've never been a fan of really solid coverage, like no skin showing. It's ok on other people but just not what I'm going for I guess. I'm more a fan of the traditional american look of a bunch of tattoos all over with probably stars and dots or that type of filler.

[Ursula]

But yeah the tattoo isn't done yet, another sitting to add a skull at the bottom where the panthers front feet are and just whatever other little things it needs.

[Duffa]

That panther is badass!

That snake is badass!!

Ok looks like the votes are in... it's unanimous, Ursula your back is badass.

This post has been my favorite so far. It's a large reason why I joind and I think it needs some fresh love. Here's my backpiece, fresh after the final session a few months ago. Jill Bonny (Horiyuki) at State of Grace Tattoo in San Jose has done all my work to date.

After a few months off, I decided to add background. We start again this weekend.

Amazing. I was actually there a few months back getting a spider by ben grillo while Jill Bonny was working on your pick.

Keep the picks coming

[Lance]

Thanks! Is this the Black Widow spider on SOG's Facebook page? That's pretty sweet! All the pictures they were uploading while he was guesting there were impressive. Ben Grillo is awesome.

[Duffa]

These are by Horitsune II from Osaka Japan. The first is on his pupil Miyazo and the second is on tattooer Rob Admiraal (The piece on the lady is one of Robs' clients/his work)

^^ So friggin good!!!

I tried to find a better photo of Robs' backpiece, but good luck finding much if any of Horitsune IIs' work online. There is a series of videos though called 'Onko Chishin' and are well worth checking out, so do it ;)
