And it's unsurprisingly fantastic.

It's done. It's actually done. The last session was the worst one I've had to endure. Major touch ups to the wind bars/clouds, double lining, basically every soft spot got hit in one day. By the end I was definitely spent, but so stoked. Dana was very pleased with how this came out, and that makes me happy too. He wants me to show up to the Baltimore or Philly conventions and do the back piece contest.
This took a year and a half, and it was an amazing experience.

@Pete tattoo freak I've gone to | TattooBeGone SFTattooBeGone SF a few times and have had good results. Do me a favor, if you end up going here could you tell them Greg Paull sent you. They give referral discounts.
My buddy has started going to L Plastic Surgery - Charles K. Lee, M.D. - San Francisco, California and seems to like them.

The tattoo community; where dudes peer pressure other dudes into getting half naked, and nobody bats an eye.
:D

Here's my progress so far by Diego Azaldegui. Got another session in a few weeks which should hopefully finish it off.

Got 4 more hours in with Jason this week. So close...

UPDATE:
Two days of brutality on my back with Henning. This go around we started coloring in the phoenix at Kings Avenue Tattoo. 7 hours on Friday in Long Island, then 6 more hours on Saturday in Manhattan. Henning thinks we need one more full session to complete everything. I think probably 2 more including any touch ups.
By the way...I really really hate ribs...and spine....THE WORST. Enjoy the pics.

@DeathB4Decaf - Thanks! As for how long I've been working on it, well that's a bit of a loaded question. I started it about 5 years ago, but Jason moved to Portland literally after 2 sessions. So, progress slowed down quite a bit but I'm just about done!
@Cork - Thanks! No filter. Just my wife on an iPhone and my fat ass in all it's glory!

@a1steaks, your back looks incredible and so close to completion (I'm assuming). How long have you been working on it for?

@a1steaks I can't tell if that's an Instagram filter or if your back really has that amazing contrast. I hope its the latter. It looks badass anyhow.
