Hmmm... depends on how big you would want it. If it's taking up the entire bicep you're looking at a minimum of about 2 1/2 to 3 hours... and so about 250-350 depending. That's ballpark though. I usually still let the owner handle the pricing. Plus right now I'm still at a half price rate. :rick:

Thanks guys. Have to say the last 7 or 8 months have been really awesome. Hands down. I honestly never thought I'd be able to say that I'm more then well on my way to becoming a full time tattoo artist. (I've recently gone from "apprentice" to first year tattooist. :chuck: ) I've been putting in 70+ hour weeks and have been worked ragid certain days. But it's been entirly worth it so far. I'm now getting paid to do something that, for the most part, I find ridiculously enjoyable. Don't get me wrong.. it's still a job in a lot of aspects, and it doesn't take long to get a little bored of doing stars on a foot... but still so freaking worth it. Never even thought it could be this lucrative either... and I still only charge half price. :eek3: Don't plan on quitting out of teleconferencing just yet. I want a chance to save as much money as I can for as long as I can. But hell.. tired or not.. I'm having a blast.
(and yes... those stars... are on a foot.
)

Can I ask why skulls are so popular in tattoo'ing? Is it recognition of ones mortality that they bond to? I just seem to notice alot of morbid creations in this culture. Because of the nine you posted, four are in that cateGORY (one includes an evil clown).

Good stuff. I heard filling in large areas isn't very time consuming. I'm thinking of yin-yang on my back and have the dark area cover up a previous spot. The fillin-in doesn't make it cost that much more, does it? I'm not sure how many tatts you've covered up, of if it's something tattoo artists don't like doing.
