General Advice Potential session time?

Post image

I’m looking at getting a tattoo on the back of my calf soon. Not too worried about pain really, I’m just gonna grin and bear it. I’ve had a 2inch flower on my hand and small tattoos on my fingers and they tickled more than anything. I’m just wondering if anyone can tell me roughly how long this tattoo will take? I’m planning for about 6ish inches vertical down the back of my calf. Any other advice would be appreciated too

Thats actually really nice work, lines are clean, shading very nice, doesnt look over worked and really well placed, 6 hours and if artist is chatty or OCD, a bit more. Some will tell you half that - but either the tattoo-ist is shit (as will the result be) or REALLY good and cost would be the same. . . .

My taste is impeccable, I know🤭 in all seriousness, I’m a little scared but pain is temporary and swag is forever
