Half a sleeve tattoo?

Question

Im just curious how much it cost to get a half sleeve tattoo. Im getting one that is really detailed. Just curious how much yours was.

Answer 1

so many factors go into how much a tattoo will cost. i know people who have half sleeve tattoos that have only taken 5-6 hours but others who have taken 10-12 hours. it all depends on design and artist speed. so anywhere from $500 to $1,500. the best person to consult is the artist who will be doing your tattooo.

Answer 2

it depends how long the tattoo artist is spending to work on your tattoo. Some artists or shops give you a flat rate but some charge you by the hour. I got charged by the hour and it cost 150 per hour. I'm currently doing my half sleeve right.My half sleeve is very detailed because it's also a cover up to my previous tattoo. I just got the outline finished and i have to come back 2-3 more times and i'm assuming that my total would be around 800-1,000. I hope that helps.

Answer 3

I've wanted a half sleeve tattoo for so long, but because of my job I could never get one unless I wanted to burn up in the summer time. Here's my idea: I was going to get a combination of all my favorite childhood cartoons like "my little pony's, rainbow bright, care bears, smurfs, strawberry shortcake, and so on". I thought it would be fun and feminine because of all of the colors.

Answer 4

It kinda depends on the charge per hour, how fast the artist works, what kind of work (sparse or lots of ink), the total square inches involved, and so on.

I think Francine has it right with respect to the range & taking into account the variables. It's still probably best to speak with the artist as they will have a far more precise answer.

Answer 5

well i dont have 1 but id say since its going to be very detailed that it'll cost between $1000 to $2500

Answer 6

go to your tattoo shop and ask them... I'm getting one and is going to cost about $1,200
