Don't let price play a factor... Find a good shop, with a good artist and pay whatever they want. Bargain tattoos end up shitty a lot of the time... trust me, I know.

yo, ya i should have specified. i Think i overpaid a bit on my first tat is the reason im weary... first time, little knowledge, just kind went in and said hey i want this... and they said okay its this much.

I completely agree, something permanent should be something well invested.

heres the drawing i've done, pretty much final copie

I probly paid the least for the most on my last tat. Having a cousin do awesome work is pretty sweet.

Ask people about their tattoos... Look closely... Then go visit shops... Look for cleanliness first... ask to see their autoclave (touch it to see if it's warm... ie. they use it)... then look for quality... Be leary of portfolios... Tattoos don't start looking like shit (usually) until after they heal... Most portfolios contain only fresh tattoo pictures...
