Actually, you're in luck @embers. The shop is near "Vermont". That street is full of restaurants to park yourself at and have a bite and pint. Or the Scientology building off Sunset isn't too far away either if that's your thing ;-) Oh and if you have a car, Spotlight Tattoo is an easy drive from where you will be.

tatB Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 Question for everyone with a backpiece that is a real full (ass included) backpiece. When someone asks to see it do you immediately show them everything or do you just show them the part above the waist and then show them rest if they start asking how far down it goes?

a1steaks Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 @BrianH if they are heavily tattooed and know what a full back piece entails I'll show them all the goods. Otherwise I usually just show the top and listen to all the comments about how they can't believe someone would get their ass tattooed. tatB, Pleadco, redoid and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/456-full-back-piece-thread/?page=80#findComment-112345 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ironchef Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 @BrianH I'm not one to be afraid of pulling off my shirt and dropping my pants but being self aware, I usually just show a pic from my smartphone first. Some people want to see it in the flesh and I would start with the shirt and depending on where the conversations lead, usually show my ass off too.

Rad Kelham Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 There's mine completed in 2007ish. I now wish it were more detailed but at the time I wanted the biggest back piece with the least amount of time and effort and money. So it goes.

Although first I usually ask, "How comfortable are you with male nudity." It usually gets chuckle from the person, and it also makes me laugh because people think I'm just joking around. - - - Updated - - - ironchef said: @BrianH I'm not one to be afraid of pulling off my shirt and dropping my pants but being self aware, I usually just show a pic from my smartphone first.

DeathB4Decaf Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 Had another sit on my back yesterday. Did the shading on the lower back and left ass cheek and thigh. Pretty much everything is shaded (I think?) besides my right ass cheek and thigh. Back is looking so full now. Healing is not so fun with all the Easter hustle. No fucks have been given regarding my athletic pants being worn in public all day. Getting really happy seeing it all coming together. Excited to see the shading all done in 5wks after our next session. Not so happy that we have to take a two month break this summer (June & July) due to travel and work commitments. But I'm sure it's for the best, as I can't imagine hiking and kayaking on the east coast to be good for healing fresh work.

TWICE I thought the work was done in some areas, but NOOOO there had to be more detail grinded (ground?) in over previous layers. Just let that little hope of a single pass remain a little secret wish in your heart. - - - Updated - - - @mmikaoj - wow, just wow. It has been amazing to watch your backpiece evolve and when you got the flames around the sides, thinking that you were lying to us that you truly hadn't gone off the black&grey wagon. Surely looked a very nice red/grey that would have looked great with the rest of it! :D I love your piece - it's up on the top 10 of all my favorite backpieces. Just amazing in the precision, and the flow on your body. hogg and DeathB4Decaf 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/456-full-back-piece-thread/?page=80#findComment-112445 Share on other sites More sharing options...

AuntTudie Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 I'm happy to say I just finished my 30+ hours full backpiece. I alway get lost in my tattoos so this time I kept a diary of each visit. As I read through it, I realized most of it is pure whining.

AuntTudie Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 (edited) I'm so glad I found this thread. Although I never screamed during my back piece, it was brutal at times. I literally saw stars during the session that we did her face and shoulder area. I did this in 2-3 hour sessions. By Matt Dinovo out of Black Squirrel Tattoo in Omaha, NE.

idyllsend Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 Hello friends. It's been a while since I've posted, as it had been a while since I've been tattooed. That ended today with the first sit on my back piece. Overall, I'd say it wasn't as awful as I expected, but certain areas were downright painful. Notably the bum. Next sit isn't for 9 weeks, so I've got time to mentally prepare myself for more pain.
