5 days straight about 40 hours give or take, this is as far as we got, about 1.5 - 2 sessions left. done by dan molloy. these 5 days on my back was easier than my 3 days b2b on my arm. kinda regretting not booking 6 or 7 sessions instead to get it done. 

Got this on the same day i finished my sleeve. lol.

Tougher than anybody I've ever met if you sat 5 days in a row @Dominiccjs I can't even imagine sitting for 8 hours for one day.

I bunch of great looking work being shown... kudos and best of luck to all!

yep dan and i were really surprised by how little swelling there was each day. i was peeling the night after the first session. barely any scabs as well. i did prepped for a month and a half in advance to sit this many days moisturise twice daily, multi vitamins, 4 litres of water etc. i think it’s more of a testament as to how light handed dan really is.

The german guy he's talking about is Randy Engelhard from Heaven of Colours in Zwickau, Germany. And for sure you'll have to pay an added celebrity status as Randy is a leading actor in a popular german tattoo tv reality show.
Randy estimated around 7h for the chest piece while charging 1500€. That's around 200€/h, think that's a solid price for a talented and busy artist. And as he's so busy he just proposed the possibility to do this piece on a sunday for double his usual rate to get an earlier appointment. Otherwise I would expect him to have a waiting list of at least 6-12 month, if not even more (not sure about that though...).
But I don't think it's possible to calculate with these numbers and just say: Well, a whole sleeve from this guy would be around 20k... Taking into account an hourly rate of 200 bucks I would probably expect a sleeve done by him around 20-40h and so by 4k - 8k €.

Wow, @Oiocha, that's a pretty tough Artist's stance.  

about to start my back piece in 2 months with dan molloy in perth. got 5 sessions squeezed into a week. i should not have gone into this thread lol. reading about the pain has made me much more nervous than i already am. 
with that being said, any advise on how i’d go about healing this?

thanks for the encouragement! i’m no stranger to multiple day sits. did 28 hours over 3 consecutive days for my sleeve. the back really sounds like it’s going to be a whole different beast though.
