In which Sky uses her flist for info on tattoos!

[cerulean_sky]

I know some of you on my flist have tattoos. So instead of randomly searching google, I thought I'd ask you all: About how much does it cost to get a tattoo? Plain black (probably solid, not just an outline), small enough that it would fit on a business card, but probably not on a quarter.

No less than $50, I'd say. Both of mine cost me about $50 plus tip each and they're both small, plain black kanji on my wrists.

Still better than $200+ which is... sadly what I was kind of expecting.

Both of my kanji [each] are just a little bit smaller than a business card, so I'd say you should be okay, price-wise.

Any tips on a good place to get it?

It really depends on what it is you're getting. Also, you'll want to put your tat somewhere that won't change too much as you age.

I guess I meant any recs on an artist, but that was a helpful tip, too. I'm still considering that one.

Ha! Wow, I'm lame. Okay, well, I got both of mine at Whatever 7 on St. Mark's. It was clean, well-lit, and the guys were nice. Mind you, this was about four years ago.
