The size is rather small. I know the price depends on the place and quality as well, but I want to know how much a great quality tattoo would cost approximately.
Thanks



Answer
A.. lower back + Butterfly = Tramp stamp... get at your own risk

B. color and Size are the two biggest factors w/in a given market... and the price could double or triple depending on where you are

I priced out a \S/ - Superman Shield-- Outline + 2 colors @ the size of my Palm = $200-$300

-- more color = more money... but 'Tramp-Stamp' is closer to Silver Dollar Size so that would be less

countless variables

so honestly Just open the nearest Phone book, or Yellow Pages web site and find 5 local Tattoo shops make a day of calling or driving to them and talk with one of their artists -- if you have a pic or a drawing show it to them... it may not be cool, but take notes and ask questions -- all those things you should have done in school and with your stats... if your friends have ink, ask who did their work make a truly informed decision

-- Tattoos are either permanent or very expensive to remove so know what you want from day one

Can a tattoo artist please answer these questions for me please?

Answer
Damn. You want me to write a book. I'll give a few of them a shot. Number one two and three, I've always been an artist, and have friends I grew up with also in the industry. I've always liked skin art. Apprenticed two years. Grapefruit and pig ears, although the drag is different on human skin. Professionally? Ten years. My parents love it. I was a line mechanic, built engines. His work and personality. It's a little nuts when everyone is busy. I shook like a leaf. I can't narrow it down to one. WE get all kinds of strange requests, genitalia ranks at the top. No, there is no place I'll rule out entirely. I hate doing feet. People don't wash their feet sometimes. I have over a hundred hours of ink. It comes out to about forty stencils or so. I tattooed gophers coming out of a guys anus once, that was weird. I got most of my ink while in the industry. Worst tattoo experience, a guy passed out sucking on a morphine patch. Yes, we've all tattooed ourselves at some point. Butterflies and fairies and skulls, oh my! The people you meet are usually fairly outgoing and friendly. Your back takes a hell of a beating. A few, but not many. We watch pretty close, and usually we see someone fixing to go down before they know they are. I shove the bottle of alcohol under their nose. It works. Whew. I can't believe I got through all those. But they're normal questions. Take good care.
