I want to get a tattoo, but through all my research on designs I realized I dont have a clue as to how much these things cost. I dont know if its $50 or $1000 I know I want to get a top of the line one form a really good artist so how much should I expect to pay??
Type of tattoo I want:
Classic 1940's style pin up girl on my arm. With good color.

I live in Los Angeles and have several tattoos. My experience is that tattoos work out to about $100 per hour. Your design sounds like it would take about an hour. Don't forget to factor in a tip if you really like the artist.

our american tattooist charges $100/hr plus the cost of ink, an extra $50 for his own design or an extra $25 if he refines your own design. our english tattooist charges us £50 for any tattoos smaller than his palm and £50 per session for any that take more than one session to complete. both have been tattoo artists for about 25 years and they're both very talented. not sure what our english tattooist charges everyone else but he's been a family friend since my hubby was a young lad so i suspect we're getting a reduced price.

where i go it costs me £40 for an hours work and anything after that will cost another £40 if he goes more that that he is just ripping you off dont ask how much it is to get your tattoo ask how much it is for an hour and then get yours done it works out cheaper and it is less painful maybe get it done in 2 hourly sessions and i think £40 is about $100 oh and it maybe a bit more if there is alot of colour as mine are all black so add no more than $40

that is a great tattoo idea! I am very jealous....
you want a good tattoo artist, eh? Thats good, im glad you have thought all this out! Im thinking its gonna run between 175-300. Im sorry, i cant give you a 100% answer, different artist, different rates, you know? I know it should be somewhere in that range, so just be prepared. good luck!

The smallest tatoos usually run about 50$. medium size runs from 100$-200$. It all depends on where your at and the artist you go to, but the cheapest one ive gotten was 50$

Every artist will be different; the better the artist the more expensive it is.
Follow this rule:
A cheap tattoo is good and a good tattoo isn't cheap!

it really varies from shop to shop and artist to artist. The more well known and talented the artist the more you can expect to pay. Basically draw or have someone draw the design for you and shop around.

You can get quality work done for as little as $20, just make sure that they use sterile equipment!!! For what you want you should expect to pay around $150-$250.
