JoLynn,

There is no way for any of us to give you even an estimate on cost. It will depend on MANY factors. One being where you are located - what country, what city, what part of the city, etc. The main thing will depend on the artist you choose. Usually the better and more experienced the artist, the more it will cost. Some charge by the size and detail of the design, while others charge by the hour.

I've seen some tattoos quoted for a third of what others will quote the same tattoo. That being said, you usually get what you pay for!

I would MUCH rather pay a lot more for a great artist to get a tattoo that I'm happy with for the rest of my life, than to pay less for a mediocre tattoo that I'm wishing I could cover-up or remove years down the road.
