How much would a tattoo of this cost?

Question

I wanted to get this tattoo on the lower outside of my right leg. Its just black and white being used and I want it about 4 or 5 inches long. I live in the Chicago suburbs near Oak Lawn. The first link is the exact one I want.The second one is what it will probably look like minus the bats. The others are just tattoos of the similar design of Jack that I want.

Answer 1

It depends on the shop. Mine charges $150 an hour, which is pretty standard for by the hour places, but some charge by the size of the piece. Personally, I like the by the hour because you can pretty much pick and choose how much you want done for tattoos that require more than one sitting. It shouldn't matter where it is on you, just either how long it will take or how big you want it. When you visit or call shops, I'd ask how they charge instead of how much it will be. That way, if it's hourly, they'll tell you how much and if its by size they'll ask to see it to estimate it for you. My artist hates it when people come in with cost as a deciding factor or when they try to haggle. Good luck!

Answer 2

um maybe 3500 yeah coz they r really big and they have more details in them

Answer 3

Anywhere between $150 and $300 depending on where you go. Keep in mind that quality artists charge about $100-$200 an hour. Since you're from Chicago...I advise you to stay away from Jade Dragon and Tattoo Factory!
