How much time would it take to get a tattoo this size?

Question

I found an image of a tattoo i liked and photoshopped it onto my back. The tattoo size would be about 8 inches by 8 inches. Here is the link. http://img157.imageshack.us/img157/537/tattoopossibilitygo4.jpg

Workable area on my back is only about 9-10 inches wide

Answer 1

A good friend of mine owns a tattoo studio and having spent some time there myself have a pretty good idea of how long different tattoos take. The first thing you have to consider is your own ability to withstand the pain associated with having a tattoo in that area. Do you have any others? Not to say that the pain is terrible, but it can be somewhat annoying and you may not be able to have it done all at once. If the pain doesn't bother you, and you don't want any other colors added other than the ouline in black/grey..........then that would not take long ...................maybe an hour tops. If you want shading, color etc. the time will increase accordingly

Answer 2

It really depends on the tattooist. If you want one that's detailed, and of around that size. It would take anywhere from 45 minutes to an hour. First, they draw it with markers, and then use the ink needle. Thus, they need to go over the print twice. Good luck

Answer 3

Each wing I'm assuming will be 8x8..... or else it will look ridiculous........It really needs to be larger than that to look to scale.......but anyways, I would say about an hour or hour and a half a wing.

Answer 4

it all really depends on the artist and how fast they are and also how detailed you want the wings but if i had to guess i would say anywhere between 3 and 7 hours.
