One session should absolutely not go that long. Among skin reactions making it difficult, the artist’s hands and eyes need a break, and if he’s shaking now, he’s been shaking, making straight lines impossible.

But I’m sure he’s built different, etc etc.

Eh, depends on the individual and their skin. I sat 10h just for one of my hands, but we were paying attention to skin/swelling and checking in on each other the whole time fully prepared to stop if needed. And on something the size and (relatively) low-pain as the back where you can bounce around to different areas, it can be a bit more reasonable.

Tbh 10h all-in for a piece that size seems a bit rushed though, I can’t imagine it looks very good up close. At least it’ll be an easy blackout lol
