niceeeeeeeeeeee

that's great work .. the detail is insane ..but way too much for me ..

god, that's gonna look like shit in 20 years

yea, in 20 years when hes a wronkle owd bastard thats going to look like a McCoys crisp

Oui, oui very nice tatto :thumbsup

I don't get it... why tattoo yourself with such a huge picture? Don't people use a pen and paper anymore?

wrinkled skin looks like shit to anyone that doesn't have it anyway. At least wrinkled tattoo'd skin will have some character.

:pimp

great work indeed :thumbsup
but why would one want to have THAT on his back?

T-shirt with the pic is just enough IMO :pimp

thats some talented work right there

very nice work, all that black must have been so painful. I wonder how long it took to do and how many sessions.

For me it's more like collecting art from outstanding artist.

This is my back in progress, still a shitload of hours to go :thumbsup

jeesh u are.... hardcore:thumbsup

Looks like a sweet piece of tatoo art

That's your body, your lifestyle, your choice. I've never condemned that and would never say "it's stupid to get a tatoo". If you're sure that you'll be happy with the pic over your back - that's just great. (irrelevant to 99% of grils lol)

That's not my cup of tea though.
Still prefer to get a nice outfit instead :pimp

Nice, but too much colors used ...

That is some serious inkwork. Nice!

holy shit!!

wow thats some solid artwork. Should post pics of the fighting fish, that is some DOPE artwork! You still in the peg JMan?

Ouch. Cool.. but ouch.

Damn you must be patient enough to sit while the tattoo guy is busy :)

Here's the orange fish, for some reason I don't seem to have the blue one that is on the other side of my neck

thats a great looking tattoo, if he takes care of it. It can look good for a long time.

good stuff :thumbsup

That looks dope

So do you ever see someone else's back tattoo and say "I wish I'd done that instead"?

Had a backpiece done myself about 15yrs ago now and never have regretted it. Easily coverable.

Some of it hurt like fuck. Other bits I literally read a book during it, but overall was painfull as the whole thing was done over a 5 week period so he was tattoing on 'unhealed' stuff.

I suppose my reasons were two-fold. I wanted something 'special' that nobody could ever take away from me (it was a bad period in my life) and I also wanted to prove to myself that I could endure the pain.

I always remember having a very large B/W piece on my leg done at a convention soon after. It took a little over 5 hours. 4 hours into it when it was VERY sore (anybody who's had a 3 hours plus sessions will know the feeling - after 2-3 hours the whole area of skin gets sore to the point that after 4 hours plus, the needle just touching the skin hurts like fuck) a guy shoves a TV camera into my face and asks if it hurts. At the time I seem to remember shaking, pulling my hair and biting on a towel. :)

Does having tattoos all over like that gets chicks attention ?

Only if you walk around topless all the time :winkwink: But then for every chick who is interested 2 will run a mile if they see it. But then if you're getting something like that done just to get the opposite sex interested you'll probably have serious issue a few years down the line.

Nah, I think I was blessed to have met Rob Couts from Toronto who is doin my back.

I really enjoy seeing other art work but I really like what I have... All except 1 that i am getting a cover up done on bye a new artist.

that looks like a girls back to me

thats amazing. Im always in awe of people with talent like that. I wish I could do stuff like that.

Testa has a pretty cool backpiece

That's a work of art.

J .. how did the ear feel? on a 1-10 .. I have work up in the armpit and even inside my lip but I have a feeling that would be pretty bad.

it looks like a good art, but i wouldn't dare to do such thing.

wow.. hot many hours of work is that???

Actually not that bad. I think the worst for me was palm of the hand then sternum (got a chest piece started 2 weeks ago)

It was noisy as fuck and I heard a ringing for a lill while after that ;-)

That is one talented artist
