alright folks, never had a tatto before and i'm thinking of getting a celtic cross about 8-10 inches high. i was just wondering how much i can expect to pay for this, i know it depends on how long/how much detail but i'd just like a rough price please

usually tattooists charge by the hour when the tattoo is too big to be done in one session or when its done freehand, most small ones like the one above (if thats the actual size of it) wioll come from the fixed price range.

Remember these things,
Its your body, Its your life, its you thats wearing it 24/7,
If it means something to you or appeals to you does it really matter what anyone else thinks,
Ive got tattoo's, some people like em some hate em, I aint arsed, its me thats stuck with em.

Here is my Cross which is part of a complete chest piece im having made bit by bit.





Just beware, a cheap Tattoo dont alway mean its good, id rather pay double for a good tattoo than get one that looks shocking.

I have many hours work on me, Most of it freehand designed stuff.
