I don't think it was extreme. I hate these "price" questions. This isn't a mid-eastern bazaar. You're talking about getting something permanently inked onto your skin. Quality tattoos aren't cheap.
1) there is no way in hell to get a "sleeve" of any quality for 900-$1500, maybe a 1/4 sleeve ?
2) and just because a shop is " most popular tattoo shop in Vegas" doesn't mean it has the best artists, probably has fast street tattooers,and popular vegas shops IMO are probably overpriced.
3) lastly but most important,is >>>>>>>
900 clams for a 6 in tattoo seems reasonable, but your top priority in this should be choosing an artist whose portfolio you love. If you love the artist's whose work costs you 190x4 hrs and you trust them, then you go with that person.
I can't imagine getting a sleeve for in the 900-1500 range; that's insane: insanely low and would be insanely low quality.
Which price are you talking about? They're really pretty close to the same. Remember, one artist looks at a reference and sees one thing and another sees something different... probably neither exactly what you're envisioning. Their styles can make a big difference too.
My attitude with price is pay what they ask or move on to a different artist.
hey, thanks a lot
talked to the artist and he talked about a week actually so that's good news!
We just did part of the pec today and finished the shoulder, i'll post pics later. A bit disapointed we really didnt do much today, but the pain on pec was intolerable honestly so artist had to be a bit slower than usual
