Like everyone said shop around, ask the artist to see pictures of their work. Most love to show off what they have done. Mine first is black and gray and the guy did it free hand in about an hour he charged me 75.00. And they are addictive, I have been shopping around to have a black and gray portrait of my girls over my heart, when I find the right guy I'll gladly pay the price.
My first one was about $60 16 years ago. I went to get another one this summer and it was $85. it is about 5 inches tall and 3 inches wide on my arm. I tried posting pictures, but it is not working. CAUTION: They are addicting. Believe it or not, they really are. This is coming from someone that is very, very conservative.
I noticed in your other thread you were looking for hunting/fishing/outdoor tattoo's. This is a drawing of the first deer I ever shot turned into ink. This was a pain in the butt to get a picture of by myself. An hour after it was done... I agree.
I wish you all the luck with just getting the 1 tattoo. My first was a cross also and I now have 13 total, just remember the pain is only in your head and what ever you do do not get your girl friends name tattooed any where and just dont get to crazy and get pierced. I started with with just 1 tattoo and went through a stage and had everthing pierced on top of it but I grew up just a little since then and only tatoos now. LOL Good luck and they are addicting
Not yet. Preacher Tony called me yesterday and told me that is what I have to do to post pictures. I might set one up today. Thank you. I love it! One of mine is a Buckmark also! Mine is just the Buckmark, about 5 inches tall, but I want to get a wrap and I was thinking deer tracks. Thanks for sharing. Sal
