I'd imagine that something that a recipient of a tattoo would not like to hear from their tattoo artist is, "so, now I'm just going to obscure the image so that my brain can't match it to anything in it's hieroglyphic archive" :)
Glad he was well practiced, I've seen some really bad tattoos on some friends of mine.
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.]

$400 an hour is pretty steep! -but getting a tattoo isn't exactly something you bargain shop for. It's like plastic surgery, pretty hard to reverse bad work.
Any of these your friend? http://www.checkoutmyink.com/tag/ganesh-tattoo

[edit] this is better as you can see the details: http://www.anilgupta.com/largepics/spiritual/FernandoBecker0... (Btw, I am completely anti-tatoo (for me) myself. Not a mark on my body.)

I have one tattoo, in my back. A little one, the size of a hand. Cost me, approximately $129. At first, I was very scared, because if the artist botched it, it's over. But when I got there, he had drawn the figure previously in a special paper that he applied to my skin, transfering the drawing to my back. Now his job was to ink it. Not just trace it, mind you, but apply ink to it -- which is a process also present in comic books. http://tinyurl.com/3t3n7ae
