I'm interested in the answer to this question as well.
I've seen his work and he is very good although I have never had one done myself, however this year will more than likely be our last family holiday as my eldest is off to University in September so it would be nice to get a family one done of the four of us, I wonder of he could make me look thinner

Any one know how much he charges and how do you transport them home without getting creased? Is it worth taking an old cardboard tube from an empty tin foil roll or something similar?
