I hadn't heard of that term before but I really like the effect. I looked through a bunch of the tattoos on your google link and think it would work very well with you piece. I'm really excited to see how this comes together. Good luck.

I happen to be a to be a dark tower tattoo collector love seeing everyone's artwork 👍
I would get Blaine the pain
Hey guys, sorry I haven't been keeping up but here's the results of 3 months and 5 more sessions (about 12 hours total). So, I've obviously done a lot. Got the "polka trash"-style red stripe going (which both represents paint and blood), with the eye of the Crimson King bleeding into it. The gun and the rose is something I'm particularly proud of, as my artist really nailed blending the reds and blacks together. Lastly, I've gotten the decaying wing and bones filled in under the previously awkwardly-shaped rook skull on my right shoulder blade. There isn't a ton left to do other than shade in the background - the general idea is that I'll have little to no skin showing on my back. Let me know what you think! Sorry in advance for the deluge of photos but i wanted to get it all done at once. Sorry again for the delay.
radical!

Pretty freaking cool! I'm glad you came back and posted. The job done with the keyhole, gun, and rose is excellent!
Nice tats, cool effects and colors.
Just signed up and started posting so I can show my first, the Crimson King's eye.
Ok guys here it is.
I used another tattoo very similar as mine as a model, found it here I think.
Anyway, I liked it very much and people around me liked it too.
As soons as it cools down I'll post another close without the burns...
Next I'm gonna ink the Gunslinger Borno cover on my right arm. The artist was thrilled when I showed him the cover and said that HE HAD to do it... LOL
See ya.
Long days and pleasant nights.
Looks awesome! Congrats on the great art and commentary.
Got some more love for you guys. Another few hours in, getting more shading done on the open areas - especially around the skull in polka trash style. About 65 hours in with maybe 2-3 more sessions to go. Almost there!
Let me know what you think, since the shading is really starting to make it all come together rather than individual pieces floating in space.
Oh, and the inconsistent shading around the beams will be taken care of in time - I definitely recognize it as being there.
I really like it. Seeing it with the shading does pull the piece together and makes everything more cohesive. The time spent on your back is wild. I don't think I'm near patient enough to ever try and have a back piece done. Way to go.
Very nice! I like the style and design of that one a lot.
Oh man! THAT is one awesome tattoo!!
Love it!!!!
