American Traditional Backpiece

Artist: Michel Parisay    Collector: Ryan

Ryan’s back became the canvas for a bold American Traditional masterpiece, brought to life by Michel’s expert hand. Spanning the full expanse of his back, the piece weaves together iconic motifs - piercing daggers, vibrant florals, and a dramatic medieval scene, each rendered with the bold lines that define the style. The tattoo pulses with the energy of classic flash imagery while telling a deeply personal story through its layered symbolism and composition.

This project stands as a testament to Ryan’s commitment to large-scale tattooing and the artistic journey it demands. His patience and trust allowed every element to evolve with precision and intention, resulting in a cohesive work that honors tradition while feeling wholly unique.
