@magpie,
hip and sides, in terms of the black work, felt like he was a bit heavy handed, but I have nothing to compare to in terms of that area. Felt especially on the hip like he was scraping around on the bone, not pleasant. Had to hit the chemist for pain killers straight after, and felt it everytime I moved for about a week/ ten days after.
Took three sessions in all, first to design and do the outline in dotwork, about 4/5 hours, second filling in the black work, about six hours, then finishing the blackwork and final dotwork about two and a half hours.
I'll give it a couple of years before I get something as big or bigger, need time to think about the design and also let the pain memory fade.
Would recommend matt, he's easy to work with, really diligent and wants to do great work.
Like I said in my first post, this was new territory for me, and though the design wasn't what I had visualised in my head originally, it's come out different and I love it, and wouldn't want it any other way..
