But we'll see, things are not looking very bright now. @s_y I know what you mean about the restrictions; but on the subject of simple black line work, it can be very effective on its own, and indeed there is classic simplicity about it also, and is often used for tribal patterns and text designs, with quotes, ref.s from the Bible, etc. So I was wondering if in fact "as is" was what you were aiming at... Of course, shading and color does transform the design, naturally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Around 12 hours in and it’s coming together! This piece has really tested me mentally and physically. I just got out of Covid quarantine and my body was not at all prepared to handle a tattoo. This last 4.5 hour session was brutal. I feel like such a little baby but this back piece has been deeply painful! I love being tattooed but getting them... do not enjoy Have you had anymore sessions? Been following your progress and can’t wait to see it finished! pidjones and oboogie 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amit Levy Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 I haven't been active on the forum for a while, but told myself this will be a proper come back, hope you guys like it! https://youtu.be/ZcBTYoz1E58 Time Lapse video of a full color back piece by Dasha Chehamova I got done over 9 full days in just 18 days total (4 days in a row, 9 days break and another 5 days in a row). Will appreciate your guys thoughts about it! Boiled Dove, pidjones, SStu and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FXRrich Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 Chris Ademek had a cancellation and I was able to get in with him just 2 weeks after emailing him which I was super stoked on. Unfortunately this snow storm rolled in and I had a 75 mile drive home so we didn’t get to finish the piece. It’s a portrait of my grandmothers wedding photo from the 50s. She passed away last year and oddly enough the cancellation happened to be her birthday. I’ll wait to post a progress pic when my skin isn’t so angry. But here is the reference SStu, oboogie and Queen Rocks 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oboogie Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 (edited) It’s swollen and bloody because I just removed my bandage, but got a bomb today while getting my left sleeve touched up. I’ll post a photo when it’s healed. It looks horrible right now. 😂 Edited February 12, 2021 by oboogie Queen Rocks, SStu and Gingerninja 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oboogie Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 This tattoo is not healing easily. I think it is because it is beside my knee and is moving all the time. I will eventually add a photo here when it finally heals. Fun times. pidjones and SStu 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oboogie Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 Here's a decent photo of it. Nearly healed now. 🙂 This was a gift from my tattoo artist ... he's moving three hours away. Boooooo. But I'm happy for him. It's a great new studio, and he'll be closer to his family. Gingerninja, SStu, pidjones and 5 others 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anxioussoup Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 4 more hours down, 16 so far. The yellow stained lots of the black and will mellow out once it peels/heals. The wings are mostly black/brown. Here's how my sessions go Hour 1: this isn't as bad as I remembered it Hour 2: uh oh, this is worse than I remembered Hour 3: Ok maybe we should stop this looks fine unfinished Hour 4: I am dying and need to stop immediately (said in my head every minute until he tells me we're done) Boiled Dove, Hogrider, suburbanxcore and 4 others 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
