WOW!!!! what a piece :thumbsup: Quality work there mate. I look forward to seeing the finished tattoo. :clap:

looks fantastic so far, plenty of small scales to start off with and get used to the working area before going at the long curved lines etc, looks a nice piece to do actually, lines look clean and solid from what i can make out, but how on earth did you tattoo your own back :thumbsup: as for needing to go deeper around neck and shoulder... i haven't a clue but im guessing thats just the norm on the human skin? i know alot of members on here are used to the usual arm and leg but sure there must be members who have tattood neck and shoulder that can shed some light?

 

[Reaper G]

sorry not my back im thick i no what i mean to say but never comes out the way it should

 

[MrSpoon]

:cheesy: tis all good, is it going to be black and grey or are you going full colour?

 

[Reaper G]

Well done mate, as usual you have produced another brilliant piece. How long did it take to outline?:thumbsup:

 

[MrSpoon]

oh aye looks good that does, what trouble did you come across with the stencil? not all transfer and had to freehand some?

Hi Paul

Will you free-hand rest of tatt or can you get stencil to match up ok?

Just the size of it did not go on well I had to do it in sections got there on the end tho

Should be ok to carry on with the stencil may need to free hand a bit but hoping to get away with the stencil it's an art in it's self

tidy

looks awsome mate good lines and good size ! go big or go home Eh!. you done well to get it done in 5 hours. look forward to seeing the completed piece. by the way will you be using greywash to fill it ?
:clap::thumbsup:

 

[barcode1973]

I have to agree with everyone that's a pretty impressive bit of linework. Could you possibly post a pic of a much smaller wobbly tat to make me feel less inadequate?

Fab - U - Lous!!

well done you - and your mate for sitting 5 hours! (nice broad back/shoulders btw)

Like everyone - can't wait to see the finished tat:thumbsup:

Think it has blown your mural business out of the water now - you will have a full diary of peeps waiting for your tattoo's!
