Hey I been thinking about getting about a 5in tattoo including color on my upper arm, nothing too big.. its sort of going to look like a halo character if that helps with estimating the time. Can you do something that big in one sitting?

Any advice would help immensely thanks!

I have a 1x2 inch tattoo and that took 45 minutes.
I'm guessing a 5x5 tatt would take several hours depending on the detail involved.
If a tattoo takes more than 4 hours the tattoo artist will stop an ask you to come back another time.
After 4 hours your body can start rejecting the ink
