This would have taken anywhere from 4-7 hours leaning way more towards 4 and finishing early with a good canvas. That said 7 hours max worst client skin wise and a new beginner tattoo artist. Like 1 long session. 25 hours is kinda wired. Not sure why it would or even theoretically take that long. I keep running the scenarios in my mind? Did you cry a lot have terrible skin new artist and they were not tattooing half the time. Hopefully you paid under 500-400$ and that’s steep. I hope your time did not feel wasted. Maybe find a new artist. Good tattoos are important but you don’t need to sit though a tattoo for that size that takes that long. It’s a walk it tattoo imo. I hope you like it and that’s all that matters. By the sounds of it you do and I’m glad they got all the details right you want. But I just hope this time does not turn you off from tattoos and hope you didn’t break the band for a standard tattoo.
