Alright, here we go again,
Well, we know nothing but the size and artist of your design, that does NO good with pricing, especially over the internet. Most artists don't quote over the phone, you should go into a good shop and ask about it. Make sure they're clean and professional. Hell, no one could quote you on the description that you gave...I was gonna try, but you lack so many things that go into the price of a tattoo..
Okay, well Northern US areas, and East and west coasts are generally more expensive, but every artist's price is different...even if they're in the same shop...each individual artist chooses the price that THEY will do the tattoo for. Ask them, not anyone else..you can shop around the parlors to find the one you like the best... It varies on detail, the time it will take, the artist, and location... etc
Leave it up to your artist..They can give you a more accturate price, and you will most likely pay the one that they, not what we say...
EDIT: That was short and unexplaintory, but I am tired..

Prices very from State, city, shop, tattoo Artist within the shops. So I can't really give you a price range. It all depends on those things and on what the tattoo is your getting, how much detail, and the location of your tattoo.
Take your drawling into a tattoo shop and ask them for a price range. They will be able to tell you what they will charge you to do it. Good Luck with your Tattoo. :-) I live in Ohio.

Tattoos are rated not only by size but by detail, it also depends on how many colors that you want to incorporate in it and how much shading you want. Is it a portrait or a simple drawing? My husband and I have run a tattoo parlor for the past 10 years and any tattoo even one that you have drawn yourself all depends on the detail that you want in it. The only way you will be able to tell is to take it to a professional and ask for their opinion. One word of advice a cheap tatto isn't always good and a good tattoo isn't always cheap. Good luck on your search. Don't just go with someone because the price is good. Ask to see prior work and compare it with what you would want. Williamsport, Md

My tattoo artist works out of Aurora, IL, and he starts at $200 an hour. It is well worth the price, as he is a truly amazing artist. Like someone already said...a good tattoo isnt always cheap, and a cheap tattoo isnt always good. That is VERY true!! A good tattoo artist is worth whatever you have to pay them, considering you have to look at the tattoo for the rest of your life. Shop around! Don't just go with the first artisit you find cuz they are cheap. And ask to see a portfolio. Looking at their past work can help you decide if they are the right tattoo artist for you.

prices vary so much by where you live, how good the tattoo artist is...one that size here would prob be around 100-150 bucks...some places charge up to 100 bucks an hour as well if it is a big tattoo and is going to take more than one sitting...kentucky

It depends on the tattoo artist. Keep in mind, prices aren't your priority but how sterile, professional, etc. the place is.

I got my tattoos in Oregon.
The one on my foot, very detailed and about the size of a fifty cent piece, $50.
The one on the small of my back, 4x4 and just black ink, $100.
Hope this helps.

There are no "standard" prices for a tattoo. You need to show it to the artist and let them price it for you.
