I'v gotten some really nice and free tattoos because of family members who know what they're doing, and they come out looking pretty good to me. Depends on the case though, I guess.

  What about you, any horror stories about tattoos because you decided not to spend "that much" on them?

Mine wasn't too expensive for how big it is but i went to a professional. Many of my friends in hs wanted one underage and went to this fat guy and some peoples might have a slight mistake others are totally fucked up. Another friend went to a family friend who said he use to own a shop... hers now looks like a big black blob thing when it one time had colors.

I'd pay a good amount of money for something permanently on my  skin.

I spent $120 on the quote on my side. It goes from my bra's band to my hips. Font looks exactly how I wanted it to.
I'd never want to pay a small amount for a tattoo. Good tattoos aren't cheap.

Good tattoos are not cheap.

Mine is 9 letter word in script and the place I went too charges $120/hour flat. No bartering.
I paid $113 because it took less than an hour.

I've never seen a good quality tattoo come from a cheap price. Ever.

It depends what you consider cheap.


I feel like I got an excellent deal on mine.  I paid 90 total for the one on my chest, and 100 for the one on my back.  They typically charge per piece if it is small, or 100/ hour.  Mine were both done professionally.  I would never get one done any where other than a professional shop.

Cops are wonderful assessment tools at a HazMat incident.
Send them in with a lit road flare.

If they don't pass out or blow up, it's safe.

Also, just because a shop is expensive doesn't mean they have good tattoos.

a tattoo coming out looking 'pretty good' is not the standard for what i'm putting on my skin. i'm looking for something i love

my bf's best friend, and bf's brother's girlfriend are both tattoo artists who run their own parlours, so what i spend with them isn't indicative of quality. otherwise, when i've gone to professionals with whom i don't have an 'in' with, i've paid $100 flat or $100 per hour.

basically, if someone is really good at what they do, they're not going to undercharge you.
