Was the bishop used for the whole tattoo? and how many hours did it take? Nice smooth blends suprisinga rotary can do that what is your secret?lol

Hi MICHEAL!

When I did this back piece I was only using the bishop for my shading and my mickey sharpz as my liner! I was very new...hence my first back piece... so the overall back took about 80hrs all together!! It was for an air force fella!! BOMB client...once I lent my bishop to another tattoo artist at our shop. My client cut the sitting short becuz he couldnt take the coil machine....WWAAAHHH said it hert too much....he'd rather come back another night I have the Bishop!! LOL Love the dude....awesome client....now he flys out from Seattle to work on his leg sleeve!!

No secrets....just patience!!

the shading looks realy soft did you use a premixed set of blacks or make your own?

I really dig this! Nice job!

Thanks Glen!! :)

Yea I always do the 5 caps. full black, six drops, four drops, two drops, water!


Makes it easy on me!

Looks really nice!

You know, I don't know why people tell me that it hurts less when they are worked on with a rotary machine.

I here the same thing..I had the guy who worked for me do my knuckles with my gen 6.. and it didnt hurt..much different, and this cat is not gentile.he was trained at atlantic tattoo in jersy.old skool. he never used a rotory b4. and the dam things stayed..used 7 liner for it.

It does hurt less. Especially lining hurts less in comparison to a coil machine. Either way....i love the ouch!

Really nice piece, I especially like the gal on the left and the air plane!
