Amazing piece...how many hours (ballpark)?

[parabellum]

So...I'm sure you guys get sick of hearing "I want this tattoo, and how many hours will it take?". I fully understand that its ART and its hard to predict how things will go.

For instance, I make fittings for Japanese swords. Its definitely an art form...and although I have a good process by now, I sometimes have a hard time predicting how long a job will take me. Hell, sometimes I will finish the job, decide I can do better, and trash it...only to start from scratch.

So...rather than ask a question like that...how about the following: Dave posted an amazing piece here, and I was wondering how long that particular piece took? If anyone (Dave or otherwise) knows, I am wildly curious to know.

This is just amazing and now I'm having even more trouble waiting until my appt in April!



You guys rock.
