back piece

Full dorsal tattoo

A back piece is a large tattoo covering a significant portion of the wearer's back, often spanning from shoulders to lower back.

Back pieces typically feature elaborate, unified designs—dragons, religious imagery, landscapes, or portraits—and require multiple sessions over months or years to complete.

He's been working on his back piece for two years now.
