Re: tattoo question
it really depends on the size, the design, and how long it will take. 4 of my 5 tattoos are pretty small, and were a flat price. my big tattoo took about 8-9 hours to complete (over 3 sittings), and for that one i was charged by the hour.
my last two which are my faves i got at kings avenue tattoo in N. massapequa. if you have a design you already want, and if it's only 4-5 inches, it's worth it to walk in and price it, since they'd probably charge a flat rate for something small.

Re: tattoo question
Agreed, It depends on the size and how much detail, how long it will take. I know most places have a minimum of $50. If it's something that isn't too complicated, it may cost you from $50 - $150.
I only go to one guy out in Williamsburg Queens. He has been in Juxtapoz magazine and other tatoo books. I only trust him with my skin! lol

Re: tattoo question
I have 2. One behind my neck (chinese Pisces symbol with hearts) I think was about $80.00 and took less than an hour.
The one on my lower back is about 4-5 inches wide and is sunflowers with hearts on the petals. That cost about $150. I think.
They were done so long ago that I don't remember. They were done in Huntington on New York Avenue in the Village.

Re: tattoo question
most places charge about $150 an hour standard. so it really depends on how long the piece is going to take. if you need any recommendations feel free to FM me.

wait which one did you go to, the girl on 37th street and ditmars? the tattoo artist who has no tattoo's herself lol. DH got one tattoo from her, she did an awesome job, she is real good. The tattoo he got from her was about $250-275 but his was pretty big, its his whole bicep but the underneath part
Hmmmm it depends, mine is maybe 9 inches or so, maybe bigger i measured it once but forgot now, for some reason im think 9 inches x 14 inches. It was $300

Re: tattoo question
Like the girls said, it depends on the artist and how detailed the tattoo is. I have one on my back that is tribal with a shamrock in the middle and it ran me about $175
Good luck and have fun (they are addictive!)

Re: tattoo question
I got my last tattoo in the village. It is on West 4th street. I think I paid 75 and its small. DH paid about 400 for a coverup but they really did an amazing job. I can look for the name if you want.

Re: tattoo question
honestly it REALLY depends on the detail of the piece and where u go. I found awesome prices and RIDICULOUS talent(the artists are amazing! Pepe and Greg are my favorite but they're all great) at 'The Tattoo Shop' out on 112 in medford. their shop minimum is only $40 where most is $60....i would say for a 5inch tattoo in color at a typical shop u should expect to pay at LEAST a $100 ??? just throwin' something out there. if u have an actual design of what u want u can probably walk in and ask what they'd charge for it.
