Getting to Know Full Back Tattoos

By Kenneth Orr


The king (or queen) of tattoos is the full back tattoo. Full back tattoos are often the final, most grand, step for a tattoo collector, after he or she has had smaller tattoos done on other parts of the body.

But then again, there are those very brave few who dare to have a full back tattoo done as their first tattoo project. Either way, full back tattoos, when done by the right artist, never fail to come out as impressive and a true work of art, not just for the artist but the tattoo owner as well.

A full back tattoo is usually a long and for some, a very painful process. This is never done with a single session and will always require extensive planning and scheduling for every stage of the process that needs to be done. The designing in itself is a grueling process that can time a whole lot of your time as well.

The tattooing process is even lengthier. This is begun with the outlining and the application of shades and color. After the first application, customers are advised to take a break for several days before continuing on with the rest of the sessions. And this process will continue one session at a time until all the work - the outlining, the shading and the finishing touches are complete.

If you're thinking of getting your whole back tattooed, you'll want to consider the following before you get started

1. Prepare for the cost. Tattoos are naturally costly, even the small ones. So get some cash ready for a full back work. But beware, never settle for the first cheap offer that you find on the streets. Consider the quality of the work as well. But it is possible to get good deals in your area. It's just a matter of finding where these people are and availing your services from them.

2. Tattoos are painful so expect to have lots of them with a full back tattoo. Prep yourself up for the pain. In the end and with the right artist, your discomfort will all be worth it.

3. Work with your artist. Remember, that mark will be a permanent one so make sure that you have a design that you really want before inking it on to your skin. Consider your artist's advice, share your inputs and work around these ideas. You can have a single large image or you can have different kinds of smaller drawings done.

4. Make sure you like and are comfortable with your tattoo artist. You're going to be spending a lot of time with him or her and you are going to have to trust this person.

5. Be prepared for an extended healing period if the tattoo can't be done all in one sitting.

With the right artist, a full back tattoo can become your most prized possession. It is something that you can say you have earned for yourself, something that you have earned well.

And since you will be investing a whole lot for this project, make sure that every bit of ink is worth it by simply picking the right design and the right artist to work on it.
