The Tattoo Thread

"A few years back", meaning the pricing has obviously changed, hence the 5-10k guesstimate. Most good places charge 800-1000 an hour when I last checked, most are willing to negotiate the price for a full sleeve. Obviously you'll get artists that charge alot more. 35k seems excessive?How many hours was it?

35k is not excessive.Busy having a full sleeve done at the moment and I think my total will be in that department too.
Also remember that the more detail,the more time.
 
A few photos of the progression of my tattoo.

HR Giger actually.

Um.. I don't know, getting the tatoo didnt really hurt, it was more of an irritation. But yes, nipple area more softer, I felt more pressure and a bit of burning, but nothing to complain about.

Session above took almost 4 hours, with a break here and there. Luckily the owner has a tv in the parlor, otherwise i would probably have fallen asleep later :p

Cool stuff with living up so far!

One of my new year's things is to get that design I did years ago, done.
Question I need to ask is, where do you find the really good artists as I am a total n00b when it comes to this.
