Cool. Was it you who was getting a shock done on one arm?
Here's my newbie question: why don't they do it all (outline and all the colour) in one session?

It takes hours and hours to lay down the detail and thickness in a good peice....this isnt 1 hour picked off the wall peices were doing here. My arm will prob take around 15-20 hours of solid work split up in 5-8 sessions. That outine front and back took a good 2-2 1/2 hours. Note the line thickness of the crown. The color I got last night was done in 2 hours non stop.
When dealing with a full sleeve peice, you want to get your basic lines down and healed so you can go in and deal with color later. You can only sit in the chair for a certain amount of time...the longer you work on a section the more agitated it can get....you want to work with minimal swelling and pain so you work sessions accordingly. When your dealing with amount of work I am, you need to give your arm time to heal in between sessions. Hope that answers your questions.

euhhh...do you mind me asking how much all this will cost you? I know for one that tatts are hella expesive..
but hey...I rather pay more and get a job well done!! Some of those cheap tattoo places do shitty jobs sometimes..
looks sweet bro. next time u see vinny remind him he needs to finish my shin - it's only been about 2.5 years haaaaa. acadian, hcor and i have a good number of friends that are tattoo artists, so prices are not quite the same as they should be. hcor, do you have someone already lined up to do your shock? have to talked to sean z? he did my one half sleeve and it is sweet!

Ah right, makes sense. So if you do it all at once you can get warped designs n stuff (as well as sitting in a chair for 20hrs nonstop )?

hehe, sweet! I still wanna get a few more tats but I need to save more $$$ and i'm still looking for someone who does quality stuff. Maybe i'll talk to you, Hcor when I finally figure everything out. It would be nice to see what else this vinny guy does. he seems like a really sick guy with crazy talent.
BTW-Nice avatar acadian! LOL
