For a few years now I’ve been wanting to get a tattoo. It would be my first one and because I couldn’t guess with ANY accuracy, I was curious about how much it would cost and the time it would take to complete.

I was thinking something like this only it would be like 2/3 the size, on my calf and without the skull.

Any opinions would be great, thanks.

Hard to say, different artists price differently, I would say 400 – 500

That’s not too bad. I was worried it would be a lot more. Thanks for the input.

Why ask on a forum how much a tattoo is going to be. That’s like asking somebody how much a Pint of beer is. Everywhere has different prices so go out and ask and not ask people on a forum who are only going to guess -.- atleast if you go out to a studio and ask you will know exactly. -.-

Welcome to the forum

$150 an hour, and that will be maybe 10-20 hours, depending on the artist.

Obviously it varies greatly by artist, exactly how much detail you want, etc, but I’d guesstimate $700+ for 2/3 the size at northeastern US rates w/ a good artist.

Oh right, ok, I remember now … looks pretty good. If I paid that in my area, I’d come away with something looking like the infamous phoenix back piece posted here. 😡
