Artist's Comments

Drew this up over a little more than a week of my off time while I was with the Air Force in Qatar. It takes up the entire sheet of paper and I have plans to get it blown up to a size that will cover my back from neck base to the small of my back. Some people say I'm crazy, I say I have goals. Any other time I've seen a 'Large Cross' it only covers the upper arm/shoulder, so what would this be considered? Now to find a tattoo artist that will be willing to do it. Anyone have an idea how much it'd end up costing? I know every shop prices different, but I'd like to see everyone's idea, along with how long you all think it'd take.

The rest of the series:
Four Hours Later - First session
Steady Progress - Second Session
Fresh Ink - Third session
13.5 Hours - Fourth Session

I'd defintely call it a back piece.

Now I'm no expert so this is just a guess on my part(and a lowball one at that) but I'd say the cost could be around 500$ easily if not more. And I'd say it's a sure bet your looking at multiple sittings.

Impresive piece of work, the knot work really stands out. should be very interesting for someone to ink:D

Well I went to the shop today so the guys could look at it. They acted pretty suprized at the complexity. It's going to be 16 inches tall and I get the outline done on Tuesday. After that it'll just be a colloring book, few hours here, few hours there. Still don't know exactly how much he's gonna charge me, since it's so complex they'll have to charge per hour. I can't wait though!
