People who want a back piece are rarely after decoration. They want armour. They want the thing that walks into a room a half-second before they do, that turns a shrug of the shoulders into a statement. It is the most private commitment worn in the most public place.
This studio does one thing with total attention: the back. Designed for your spine, your shoulders, the way you move. Not a flash off the wall — a piece that could only ever have belonged to you.
“A back doesn't heal in a week. Neither does the decision to get one.”
One canvas. It never stays the same. Watch it become another life — then scroll the pieces and tap any one to zoom into the colour.
The same canvas, reborn with every client — a face, a beast, a whole world in flames. This is what happens when a back is the only thing on the table.
One subject. Months of sittings. Judged best large-scale piece at the Omaha Tattoo Arts Festival. This is what a back becomes when it's the only thing on the table.
Massimiliano Pennella — “Penny Boy” — is an Italian traditional & neo-traditional tattoo artist who works on the road: a suitcase, a machine, and a list of cities that never ends. Backs are his obsession.
Over 100 awards, Best in Show, features in the press and a seat on convention juries — but the trophy he cares about is the one you wear: a back that still looks alive twenty years from now.
He takes a handful of large pieces at a time. If he says yes to your back, it becomes a project you build together — not an appointment.
You don't book a back — you apply for one. Your idea, references, size and placement are read personally. If it's a fit, the conversation begins.
A one-off drawing mapped to your body. Nothing repeated, nothing off a wall. Built to move with your shoulders and spine.
A back is a relationship measured in months. Long sittings, real healing between them, a piece that grows into permanence.
Penny Boy takes guest-spot sessions in Hawaii — Honolulu, Oahu and Maui — for full and large-scale back pieces. It's by application: tell him your idea, size and city and you'll be matched to the next available Hawaii window. He also travels across the USA and Europe.
Penny Boy (Massimiliano Pennella) is an award-winning back specialist — 100+ international awards and Best in Show — who tattoos only backs. That single focus, plus guest spots in Hawaii and across America, is why collectors travel in for a full back piece.
There is no price list. A back is a large, multi-session project and every quote is personal — issued only after your application is read and approved. Submit your idea, size and references and you'll receive an honest estimate and the next available window.
A full back is built across several long sittings over months, with real healing time between them. It's a relationship measured in seasons, not a single day.
Penny works on the road across the US and Europe — conventions, guest spots and studios. In your application, tell him your city; he'll match you to the nearest upcoming window or a dedicated session.
The back is the focus of this studio — the largest, most demanding canvas on the body. Full and half backs are prioritised. Extensions onto ribs, shoulders and arms are part of the conversation.
Penny reads every application personally. If it's a fit, you'll get a reply with an estimate and window, then a one-off design mapped to your body, then the sessions. If it's not the right moment, he'll tell you straight.
すべてのバックピースは、申込みを読み承認したのちに個別にお見積りします。何を背負い、どこに刻むのか——ペニーに伝えてください。ふさわしければ、見積りと次の空き枠をご案内します。入口はここだけ。
Penny travels the US for large-scale backs, a handful at a time, by application — timed to the conventions and art seasons in each city.
