An oldie. While getting drilled in the arm pit. Good times.

How bad was it? I was originally going to get my peony from Brian Kaneko in the pit, but I backed out last minute, and found another spot for it.

Was an experience @Iwar.

If ya can sit solid rib drilling, I reckon the armpit is easier.

Healing on the other hand is terrible, especially during a hot summer.

From the past two days at Kings Avenue Tattoo in Long Island and Manhattan. Yesterday was a shitty day in terms of weather but the Manhattan location was packed with appointments and tons of walk-ins.

Hahaha Henning's face in that first photo!

I can't look at a picture of Henning without feeling pain.

@BrianH You and me both brother. By the way, thanks for stopping by on Friday and taking some pics. Much appreciated.

Post-outline, pre-shading for me today! I can't believe I remembered to take a picture!

@Fala Yoni's attention to detail is AMAZING. Beautiful work!

Ouch.

Right in the spine.

Haha back isn't entirely pleasant, but not too bad so far. Except for the top of my butt.. That sucked

Okay, we are six hours in of day 1 of 3.. Here are the first few shots. We're doing full back in three days, a third at a time, so we don't have to keep going over fresh ink from previous days :)

Artist: Erin Chance, tattooing at Sacred Tattoo in Auckland, New Zealand

Day one down! Started at noon, had a half hour dinner break at 8pm, then finished at 1030pm. Got so much done, but so exhausted!

Will post a progress shot in the morning, I've gotta get some sleep - day two starts at 11am tomorrow!

Sending you all "sit long stay strong" vibes for your sessions too!

@CaitlinBurnett10 You are a warrior! I hope you get a good night's sleep, and I can't wait to see progress pictures. The bit I can make out from the photos you posted looks pretty badass.

[Breakme]

Wow! Great start @CaitlinBurnett10, good luck with today's session, I'm sure you'll smash it.

Thanks all! It's definitely a large undertaking! Currently into day two, about an hour in.. Here is a photo taken this morning of yesterday's progress.. Excuse the undies & the angle - my friend took this photo when I got out of the shower!

Will add more as I can take them, working on upper back today so can be difficult to get good action shots via selfie!

[SeeSea]

INSANE!!!! Go girl rock it out!

[marley mission]

whoa very cool start caitlinburnett

[sighthound]

Wow, how did i miss this? @CaitlinBurnett10 a full back in 3 freaking days?! Very nice start so far, it looks amazing. Can't wait to see the finished product - you'll make it no problem

Yeah haha ambitious, I know! But totally getting there! We are three hours into day two atm, and Erin is smashing it! She's got some pace on her for being so detail focussed! I'm feeling good, tomorrow will be a struggle I think, and last night toward the end my pain threshold was at zero.. But worth it!! :) More pics to come

[PackMan]

Awesome!

[CaitlinBurnett10]

Best shot I could take myself.. Will get a full one soon :)
