probably around what i got charged +$50 since its a popular area and on TV... atleast for my tattoo...
tattoos dont hurt.... especially not on the arms... the fattier the area the more it hurts (seems weird, doesnt it?)... altho that pic doesnt show it, my arms are relatively muscular, so it didnt really phase me... after about 5 minutes into a tattoo my body just kind of feels the vibrations and thats it, its almost like getting a massage, just with a really small end on the massage pad.
right in the sides of my back(near kidneys) it hurt like a bitch. You'd think the spine hurts, but its nothing.
poke you with it? lol. Its a high-speed electric needle. They go for about 10-30 seconds depending on the line, wipe off excess ink, and go again. I had the same artist do all of mine... so if you develop a "bond" with them, they learn your style, and they can shorten the line if your squimish, or in my case, lengthen it. When i went in for my first, i was syched up... when i got on the table i was ----ing nervous. Amazingly i didnt sweat.... the following week, i came in for another, and he did longer lines... for my big one(on my back), he went fullspeed on that ----.
psh... get a red devil child like i have lol screw blue eyed devils (no offense, just blue isnt meant for devils)
