Backpiece Begins

After a few years searching I finally found the right artist to do my back piece. Noi siamese 3 has opened a great shop in Oslo called 1969 tattoo. (you can find his link to the right)


Noi at 1969 tatoo shop.

Noi is a fantastic artist and his work is truely amazing, Noi freehand draws all his designs and the detail he manages to get into his tattoos is like no other. He has won many awards and is quickly growing himself a very respected name.

Some of the free hand drawings Noi is famous for.

I have been wanting a traditional Japanse dragon back piece for some time now. The problem is I have 3 bad tattoos already there so it wasn't going to be easy to cover them up. I have spoke to many different tattooists over the years and only Noi could come up to the challenge and knew what I was looking for straight away. After 3 hours of free hand drawing the tattoo had taken shape and was ready for outlining.

3 hours of freehand drawing.

This is the start of a very long journey and both me and Noi are very excited to see the finished product.
