Tattoos take longer than you’d think, artists hate people hanging around all day. I’d think at most an artist would be able to do 8-10 even if small. It’s the setup time that kills it.
Depending on numbers you’d potentially need multiple artists/book out the whole studio to do it.It’s a shame Dharma on Roman Rd closed as they’d have probably been down.
I feel like a couple of people off here from the early days became full time tattooists but no idea who they are or where they’re based.

I think Chris Hewish was on here for a spell, but fairly sure he was outed as a wrong 'un (IRL)
I remember him as an apprentice at The Family Business when I was getting tattooed there (by other artists, not him)And yes, to your point, setups take ages. I was being hyperbolic with the "dozens" comment, I just know a few tattooist I've seen can get annoyed doing the same thing over and over
I like the idea of all rocking up to the same shop and getting them done, however, I reckon the artist would be pissed to do the same thing dozens of times in a row (and the clean up between each person)
Maybe we can convince an apprentice to take on the practice...
