Answer 1

I live in Nor Cal too. Go to the bay area for the best deal. At a reputable shop this would prob cost 75.

Answer 2

it depends it could be any where from $50.00 to $150.00 everywhere is different and every artist is different!!!!!!!! Sorry.....Make a copy of the pic and just take it around a few tattoo shops but make sure you can trust the person that does it. I only use one guy no matter what it is or how much it is!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Also make sure they are clean and sanitary. Ask questions!!

There is no way to tell you how much the tattoo is going to cost.  It varies region to region and shop to shop.  But let me give you this piece of advice, "A cheap tattoo isn't good, and a good tattoo isn't cheap."  Research the shop you're going to, look at portfolios and make sure it's clean.

I'm more worried that you're willing to steal someones tattoo that they probably had designed specifically for them.  If you really like that design, print it out, take it to the shop of your choice, and have them modify it so it's a reflection of who you are and not a stolen piece of work.

Answer 4

When it comes to the cost of your tattoo, every artist will be different.  Some will charge a flat hourly rate (one artist in my town charges $126 per hour), while some will just pick a price for the tattoo (another artist in my town does that).  Ask around for price estimates, and also, depending where you want the tattoos, or what colored ink, or what size, also plays into the factors of price.  So make sure you explain what you want when asking around for tattoo prices.  You'll find the price that's right for you.  Make sure the artist, though, is sterile (autoclave) and has a good reputation, as those who do a poor job are usually cheaper.  Good luck, and happy inking!

Answer 5
