I have a full back peice.It taken 2 months (not quite done)to get this far and it hurt like hell every time!I think that my shoulders hurt the worse.Both ears,im up to 10 gauge on my ears right now but im hoping to go to 8 gauge in a few months.As far as why....i do this for myself,no one else.I like the way i look and i am not conserned if anyone else likes it or not!Im a trucker,and if the god willing i will be until the day i die!Thats why i had my back done.It shows kind of a side veiw of a peterbuilt with the mountians in the back ground.In the head lights you can see what looks like rain and over the mountians you see a few clouds.In those clouds if you look close you can see the face of a woman with a tear rolling down her check and on the bottom it reads on thru the night.When its finished i will post some pics if anyone wants to see,should be done i another month or so because i want a lot of detail work done.
