Its depends on the artist. I guess on the cheapest you can get one that is very small would be around $40.

Ok, I will preach these tips to everyone I ever meet:
1). Do not just walk into a Tattoo parlor without knowing what it is you want.
2). Do not buy tattoos on impulse.
3). Shop for an artist. Look around ask friends.
4). When you shop for your artist ask to see his/her photo books.
5). Look at the art of the tattoos. smudge line here smudge line there...keep moving.
6). Keep your eyes open for tattoo ideas. Anything that looks "neat, cool, spiffy, etc etc."
7). Never get someones name. The only exception to this rule is children or the deceased.
8). Don't slap a butterfly you found in a beetle bailey cartoon on your arm. Customize, customize, customize. I cannot pound this into your heads hard enough. Change colors sizes or different parts, add background... ASK THE TATTOO ARTISTS OPINION.
9). Don't argue with the Artist try and see what he is seeing, but at the same time try and make him see what you see.
10). Unless you are currently in prison or are going to prison don't get a Tattoo of scooby-doo hitting shaggy from behind. Future husbands, wives, boyfriends, girlfriends, children, employers, will not find this funny.
11). Placing, the easiest way I have found to do that is to take the photograph or pencil sketch of your tattoo and move it around on your body and find the spots that make you the most comfortable.
12). When you make your mind up on what tattoo, what artist, what placing, do not go inebriated, stoned, tripping, coked up, or just all around ****** up. You probably wont come out with what you wanted and everyone you know will call you a p*ssy behind your back.

Most shops have a minimum that is around $45-$60. That covers basic costs needed for ink, needles, sterilization, gloves, any ointments/creams needed, etc.
Depending on exact size of a tattoo, detail and colors involved and time it takes to complete the piece you will either be charged hourly or given a set price. Also, some places charge more for a tattoo based on volume of customers (i.e. tattoo shops in Vegas on the strip and in heavy tourist areas elsewhere may charge more just because of how many people will get one at a spur of the moment idea)
