Thinking about getting a tattoo
Ryan:
I'm also working on a design for my upper arm.
I can't say what charges would be like where you are, but where I am they charge by the hour -- usually $100-$150/hr, and something the size of the top of a pop can is liable to take at least an hour.
As for pain, I only have my own experience to go by... the bonier the area, the more pain involved. But really, it's more like it's itchy and hot at the same time, just enough that you're aware of it and ignoring it isn't really an option.
But think about the number of people that get them done... it's really not as painful as we psych ourselves up to think it will be.

I would like something tough on my neck, so people will think I'm bad :P. They got "tattoo paper," so I may just get that and print out my own tats.

I have three. A small one on my left upper arm, a medium on my right chest and a fairly large one on my right upper arm. The pain for me wasn't that bad. I should tell you though - my wife thinks I'm a borderline sadist. >:D
So, I can only say pain doesn't really bother me to bad. Here's my right arm. it is currently the biggest I have. I am going to get an armband as soon as pool season is over.
Ryan:
Mine is in a similar vein as yours... still a work in progress, as I'm determined to get it perfect.
GASlick:
That's going to look nice. I considered a Celtic Cross, but the artist I used drew that up freehand. I really enjoy totally custom art. It gives the artist a chance to express their creativity.
He drew it up on paper and free handed it. It is my favorite tattoo. Can't wait for my armband. I am really excited, but I am just to much of a pool guy.
