A few years back, I got my family crest on my shoulder. I had a old tat on the other shoulder, after seeing what 20 years of sun did to tattoos I decided not to tan my back anymore. Then took it one step further and figured if I wasn't going to tan my back I might as well just cover it. Frank Speaker started it for me. I told him no skulls, nothing racist and no ones name, other than that to "Go for it". Frank knew I liked dragons so he just drew on my back with a pen. I didn't know what all he was doing till it was tattooed on me. I had known him for quite awhile and trusted him completely. About 3/4 of the way through he left town and Paul McDonald of Precision Tattoo (now deceased) finished it for me. The grand total? 64 hours tattoo work spread out over 3 years. Pat over at Independent Tattoo did my arm and eventually will combine the two of them.
