Tattoo Question

[MikeW]

I got a question for you tattoo artists and types. How much do you guys think it would cost to do this tattoo and how long do you think it would take?

Actual size is roughly 6" tall x 4" wide. Placed, probably, between the hip and rib cage.





Black is the only color that will be used. There's not alot of filling or shading, it's just really intricate.

Thoughts? Opinions?

That's gorgeous artwork, but placing it on your body revokes your right to use the phrase 'no homo'. Especially if you have a matching tramp stamp.

Never said it'd be my body.

Great sig, btw.

[visualpoet]

Whew, and thank you sir!

[MikeW]

Yeah. And besides, if I were getting that on MY body, Id totally get it by my belly button.

That looks awesome, if I had to guess, (at a good shop) it would take about 1-3 hours to complete depending on the artist. It could range anywhere from $100-$300.

[MikeW]

That's about what I figured. A few hours and probably somewhere between $200 and $300. I told(the person who's getting it) that if they say it'll take longer than that or cost more than that to not do it.

I have a black/red star on my calf thats filled in and about 6" point to point and it cost med $160 so this should be in the neighborhood of $200+.

I have nautical stars on my shoulders filled with black/red, took three hours for both, which mine are about 4'' tall. cost me $25 in gas, but my cousin is a certified tattoo artist.

i have one going from my wrist to where the bend is on the elbow(not sure what thats called) on my forearm its about 5 inches wide in some parts, but mine cost 120 and four colors and just over an hour to do and its good quality. so i guess it all depends where you go.

[MikeW]

What?

I think that would be pretty cool. That's a pretty tender area for a tat though, I hope she knows what she's getting herself into
