i have a cyaegha tattoo on my right arm thats the center piece for my H.p Lovecraft themed sleeve, it took two three hour sessions. im not home so i cant post pic and i doubt a pic would do its colors justice(mostly black and grey).plus it took so long cause it was freehanded.
i watched a movie and talked with my tat artist the whole time.
my advice is watch a movie,read a book,bring a psp or play some video games and talk and take breaks as needed to get mota-vated.
luckily my tat shop has all the above and they're good friends of mine.
i could get any piercing,any for $20 and sweet deals on hourly tats.
what is your back piece gonna be?is it drawn up yet?
