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.

Wish I could help you, but my last one was done about 6 year ago and was much larger and in colors. It cost me about $350.

I'd suggest checking out some places, letting them know what you are thinking about and getting quotes.

Good luck!

Where you get it done is sometimes a factor in pricing as well. I have a small one on the back of my neck, just solid black, my name in kanji. My guess it was $30, because I got it with another one that cost in the neighborhood of $50 But definitely as around and see what prices people quote.

Depending on how detailed, I'd guess $60-$100. Mine was $130, I think, and it's outlined but bigger than a business card, and from what I've gathered since then, that was on the expensive side.

my boyfriend got the magician tarot card from the rider waite deck in black. it is about the the length and a half of a credit card and cost him $120. i'd estimate a black tattoo (just the outline) to be about $80, depending on detail.

I'll send you a direct email about this, then?

At one point I was so obsessed with getting one secretly that I actually looked up a shit-ton of info on it. I remember hearing that Venus was a great place to go. You can also check out ratings here: http://newyork.citysearch.com/bestof/winners/tattoo_and_piercing
