another possibility

For years, as my understanding of tattoo as an art form has grown-I have undergone countless changes in perspective, values, and interests-   many have been a series of continual additions to an unchanging foundation, while others have smashed previous concepts and overwritten older ideas.
 and as the years go by my epiphanies seem to grow less frequent, but much subtler and more profound (at least in my mind they seem profound at the moment they strike me).  Recently I have had a MAJOR realization that has radically enhanced the realm of perceived possibility in my mind-
    I the past I have usually encouraged my clients to AT LEAST CONSIDER avoiding tattoos on their backs until they were prepared to commit to an entire backpiece...  preferably a full "turtle-back" (a tattoo that covers the entire backside, ass and all).  My thoughts behind this are driven primarily by the tendency I see across the board that the more tattoos a person gets the more they want, and- the bigger a persons tattoos are the bigger they want them to be- SO, it follows that you only have ONE CHANCE, ONE GREAT OPPORTUNITY to have a CLEAN UNADULTERATED tattoo as huge and flat and awesomely gigantic as a TURTLE BACK...RIGHT?
 well for years, it seemed like sound logic- all the while tattooing away on ribs-bellies- chests-quadracepts... never mentioning cautions or considerations like those I may offer up to those seeking tattoos on their shoulders or lower backs- until I had looked at the works of SHIGE

 long enough that a BETTER understanding of a collectors potential finally revealed itself to my conscious brain-
  My idea that a collector only had one chance to have that huge awesome flat tattoo, was wrong-


THEY HAVE TWO
