Large-scale realism is planned as one composition — flow, contrast and how it reads from across a room, not just up close.
Sleeves and back pieces are built over multiple full-day sessions, spaced to let the skin heal between sittings.
Quoted as a project across sessions at a day-rate; a deposit confirms the first date.
Giuseppe is a realism specialist — sleeves & large-scale is one of his core styles, alongside black & grey, color, wildlife and large-scale realism. Every piece is custom, one-to-one.
Pricing depends on size, placement and detail. Full-day realism sessions in the U.S. typically start around $1,200–$1,800; an exact quote follows once Giuseppe sees your idea and reference.

A full sleeve is a staged project: typically several full-day sessions spaced a few weeks apart so the skin heals between sittings. The exact number depends on size and detail density — Giuseppe maps the whole composition before the first pass.
