Tattoo Music Half Sleeve

I got the inspiration for my half sleeve tattoo from MTV unplugged. I wanted to create an acoustic session kinda vibe by incorperating a 50's Mic held by a hand, guitar wrapped in roses vines and burning candles with music notation coming out of the smoke.
I think I got the desired effect thanks to some pretty amazing art work from a tattoo artist called Ben Morris who works at Tattoo UK in Rayners Lane, London, England. http://www.tattoouk.com/ :)

How many sessions did it take to complete your half sleeve?

[RupertRockStar]

@bmoreborn79 It took two sessions to complete it, one 8 1/2 hour session and one 3 1/2 hour session two weeks apart so in total 12 hours of tattooing!

@RupertRockStar An eight and a half hour session? Brutal! Totally paid off though, looks awesome.
