Ben’s back is finished, it went by quickly, 29 1/2 hrs in 12 sessions.
It was alot of fun and great to see my work evolve so quickly on a large canvas, it gives me alot of ideas……..
I made a little video of the photographs I took whilst it was in progress and some shots of it being done on the last day.
I hope you enjoy it, please excuse its crudality as I’m only a novice at editing video. (also it was still healing at the bottom, so its a little crusty!)

So incredible. It’s been fun watching this come together. Do you use rotary machines exclusively? Liners too?

Awesome tattoo and nice video.
If you didn’t already use it, I recommend Final Cut Express. After half an hour or so of watching tutorials online it’s pretty easy to use.

unreal Thomas!
This piece is really beautiful. And the video is epic. I’m always a fan of your work, but to see it at this scale and this level of detail is really spectacular. Congratulations! I hope more people will step up for work like this!
