Just got a call from Mike Cole to do both full arm sleeves :)

renegade · 10-31-2007, 02:40 PM

interesting and props to all you guys. I don't have any tats but what's the cost of something like a full sleeve (my guess $4-500??) just wondering since it's definitely an interesting sub-culture..but I'd have to hit the gym before I consider it lol

Most good artist charge $150 per hr... after you get in good with them, they usually drop the price as the sessions go on, but thats a good starting point.

My session today will be a good $1200 + a tip, and thats only the outlining... Depending on detail, a full sleeve can take anywhere from 20-40+ hrs, so it gets pretty pricey

renegade · 10-31-2007, 03:05 PM

Damn I was way off - LOL...Thanks for the info and at least it's gonna look great when you finish man..

EXACTLY RIGHT ON!!!!

DANIELLE called me today Im going in this afternoon for 3 hours for my first tattoo!!

Im getting a 3/4 sleeve its going to take 4 3.5 hour sessions so ya im looking at like 2k!!
Whats a good tip to give for each of my sessions?

561design · 11-01-2007, 03:08 PM

A tip should be what they would charge in an hour if the session is 5-6 hours.

richeerich03 · 11-01-2007, 05:56 PM

richeerich03 · 11-02-2007, 12:30 PM

Nice.. Can't wait to see it finished..

Keep that shit clean...

uhaulball · 11-02-2007, 04:02 PM

ya... id imagine it would be very easy to get an infection at this point. looks cool though.

matt.love84 · 11-03-2007, 10:50 AM

I myself am covered (sleeves, stomach, lower throat, legs).

I just got some work done recently by Atom Turk at Guru Tattoo (one of the best shops in my opinion, in all of the country). Aaron Della Vedova is taking on my entire back piece come this spring. I couldn't be more excited. Turk and I also have a chest piece in the works.

we started this last week on my leg (Atom Turk).

this is an example of Aaron Della Vedovas work, it is not my arm.

richeerich03 · 11-03-2007, 10:56 AM

Those are some nice pics.. Does he have a site?

Looks amazing... Was it hard for you to decide to get it done? I mean did you ever think how its going to be when you're like 50?

I ask because i've thought of getting a tattoo on my shoulder but it would be a crucifixs or my familys name. I just dont want to regret it when im older...

I haven't really thought about what I would think when I'm older. At that point you could do laser removal or just live with it since you will have had it so long and be use to it...

Something like what your thinking, I don't think you would ever regret it, so I would not worry much.
