A good tattoo is never cheap but a cheap tattoo is almost never good.
Always steer clear of shops that offer 2 for 1 tattoos. This screams "We are desperate for work and are willing to sacrifice artistic integrity to get people in the door"

Here some shops have a base rate and add per hour. Some shops will just eye the piece and put a set price on it [like the one I go to] Some will go by square inch, some just go by hour. The pricing is as diverse as the abilities of the artists.

Shadow I agree with you.
However large pieces are usually a per hour rate. My most recent on my left upper arm was 12 hours and ran me a total cost of about 1400 bucks.

Tucker,
Have you shared what you wanted with family and friends? Just curious what their feedback is on your tat.

I've been thinking about it for a really long time.....
Here's a site that shows them,

Remember, i just want a small one, black and gray, upperarm, shoulder, and peck.......I'm just wondering what you guys think, and if anyone is an expert, how much it might cost at a pretty high end shop (I want to go somewhere with a lot of good credit, like high voltage in LA "LA Ink", or somewhere in SoCal....Any Suggestions?)
