    Full Back Piece Thread

    Thanks! It was done by Tim McCarthy at Tsunami Tattoo in Tacoma WA. I went in and said I wanted a big skull and snake, he did the rest. He had total freedom in the design. It made it fun for both of us.

    That's awesome @Vinn ! A good chunk of my work so far has been done at the House of Tattoo off of 6th in Tacoma. I'll have to make a point to stop by Tsunami here soon to check out the shop :)

    Finally finished. Ever since my first "off the wall" flash tattoo in 1989, I have always dreamed of a full back tattoo. It was a year long experience that I'll never forget. I'm happy it's done and really happy I won't be in a constant state of healing anymore!

    That is one hell of a powerful piece dude, congratulations! Sorry if I missed it from one of your other posts, but who is the artist?

    Read that page. Particularly post 89. There are insights to be had perhaps.

    I've had a few conversations with a tattooer friend about focusing on one style. His challenge is that he would like to focus more on black and grey, but a lot of the customers through the door ask for color in various styles, which he is happy to do.

    Being flexible may mean that he won't be able to specialize any time soon, but he is a well rounded tattooer who doesn't have trouble feeding his kids or making the customer happy.

    Another case in point. I took my plain skinned sister to an expo yesterday. We didn't have anything booked, but Eddie from classic tattoo had some time available. I've seen his work before and it was all quality art that I would be stoked to wear. He took a look at extremely simple monkey outline that she showed him, and without batting an eye said that he would be happy to do that for her.

    He made her first tattoo a great experience, and I'm sure as hell going to look him up for some work in the future because of his professionalism and humble attitude.

    Just my .02 bud. My apologies for the late night rant. Peace!

    Thanks, we were supposed to see her and her 2 year old son on Sunday for our trip to the pumpkin patch. Apparently she was dealing with a deep depression and decided to end things.

    Luckily the boy was with his dad.

    Edit: been doing emotional triage with my wife and kids while they try to wrap their heads around the whole thing. It's a tough thing to explain to kids who are so care free how someone could be so sad and lost that they would not want to be alive.
