He paid $400/hr to his tattoo artists. Sessions lasted 3-4 hours. He was here in NYC specifically to get his Ganesh done. Prior to that in Paris for the skull on his head. Amsterdam and beautiful Geishas. I draw myself. These tattoos were serious works of art.

"I've seen some really bad tattoos on some friends of mine."

And he also showed me his own first tattoo job on a friend. He had botched it so badly that he covered one of the poor (ex:) friend's legs below the knee in black ink.

[edit: anyway, I brought this up really to point out that effective realism is a matter of obsessive discipline and practice, practice.]
