Well it's been a year since I've had my back worked on and per our usual fall schedule, Henning was in town and this time we FINISHED my back! Some of you might have seen the updates via Instagram. So happy with this collaboration between Henning and Rubendall being completed! WARNING, PIC HEAVY!!! Put your browser on FULL SCREEN! The master himself, Henning Jorgensen. Such a great artist and humble man. Filling in the phoenix...tail feathers, breast, head and a few touch ups here and there. Such a pleasure watching Henning work. I was so stoked with the zebra/tiger striped pattern he chose for the remaining tail feathers. Touch up on a tender spot...the spare tire. Slowly getting there. Details details details... Close-up of the phoenix...beautiful! Full view from my right side. There was poor lighting inside since it was dark out, so they propped me up on a table and surrounded me with lights. A quick reminder of the work Mike Rubendall did on the lower half of this collaboration. LOVE his water! Another angle of my lower half. Here's the finished top half. Finished full back in all it's glory. My back is a sea of colors! Hope everyone enjoyed my show and tell! (don't mind the feet on the left or right, hahaha)

Wrapped up my collaboration back piece with Henning Jorgensen and Mike Rubendall this past Tuesday. I posted up a ton of pics in the Full Back Piece thread. So happy to have it finished and amazed by the final product! Enjoy!

Finally booked with Seth Wood in December to finish my dragon sleeve. It's been a long time coming -- but of course I'm already fantasizing about the next one!

@ironchef = you can hereby officially post those pictures in the "jaw dropping" thread! Outstanding.

@ironchef That is a thing of beauty my man!

@Fala About 7 1/2 hours. First 5 hours were okay. The last two were really tough. I hate spine and rib work...just the worst!

@ironchef WOW!!!!! Congratulations!! That is truly incredible, you must feel so accomplished and proud. What an endeavor! That is truly a bold, dynamic, impressive, powerful, and intricate work you have. Truly amazing. ?

@ironchef You're ahead of me then...they are meant to go up in my bedroom as well, but I haven't even managed to buy frames for them. May be a good job today though, as I'm down with a stupid tummy bug. It might make me feel better ? Did you go for white frames? Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk

@ironchef there aren't words to describe how freaking awesome that piece is! Congrats.....

@omeletta I'll post up a video after I'm done healing. I also picked up Rubendall's fingerwave prints! I have them framed and hanging in my bedroom!

Looking absolutely fantastic! Would also love to see it in person, but as that's unlikely to happen, how about a little video at least....? ? And I agree, Mike Rubendall's waves are superb! I bought finger wave prints from him at the London convention the other day coz I love waves and I think they are among the best! Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk

Next week: Yoni Zilber at NY Adorned! I'm a repeat customer.... And, I am not even two months healed from my last tattoo! This has been a wonderful fall for getting tattooed!

Holy shit. That's ridiculously beautiful and vibrant; I can't begin to imagine how it looks in person.

Amazing work @ironchef! Congratulations, kudos, high fives and cheers!!!!

@ironchef really happy for you man. I hope I have the pleasure of seeing it in person some day.

Nope, she moved to Pittsburgh about 18 months ago I believe. We've been working on the sleeve since January, and I know she'd already been there for 6+ months at that point.

Each first time I see this Jeff Srsic snake & peonies back piece, my jaw stays dropped.

This series of backpieces by Chris Brand fits nicely in this thread.

"Yknow what's awesome about this budd?...you have a whole bodysuit of tattoo and MY tattoo is going to be the one everyone is gonna ask about haha" Keepin' it real w/ King Len, guest spot at Champion Tattoo in Edmonton, AB Deadly placement, deadly evening, deadly tattoo. But holy fack did this one sizzle and rattle.
