Depends on so many things, like where I get it done/the design I end up going for etc, but I reckon a few hundred quid.
ive spent about 1k so far.

i've never seen a tattoo at the top of someone's chest before.
at first I thought you were posting other peoples', as you had two of a back, then i realised it was the front

I know what you mean Ben i understand but I know what it means as well as everyone else's will have meaning for them i:e the one of my sons name is special because i don't see him anymore but i will always have the tattoo and memorys of him. Most of us are just sentimental buggers!!!!

It's quite likely to be upwards of a grand for a full coverage full colour sleeve from someone good.

might be hard to see but its a maltease(sp?) cross
the other half's

In all honest I have no idea what Japanese tattoo prices are like these days, but I was planning on allowing around £400, for my first then getting more if I can afford it.
I'm suprised yours were so expensive tbh. Did you get them done somewhere 'trendy' or something?
What do you coun't as 'someone good' though? I'm not planning on going anywhere well known.

agreed. as said ive spent 1k so far it maybe a little more or a little less, and i have a lot of coverage to get done as well, im expecting at least another 1k-1k and a half.

£40 an hour is very cheap for custom work to a good standard. The average around here is about £60 an hour, I pay less because I tend to get my tattoos six hours at a time these days, so I get mate's rates.
The Kraken/Octopus or whatever you would like to call it.
It has in its hand a Severed arm/hand and in the hand is a Frag Grenade with the pin pulled.

I'm in the sad position of having to wait for my eczema to clear up before I can get any of my planned ink done. I have the designs sorted though, the 1st one is on my upper left arm and is of a winged Demon that goes from my shoulder to elbow.

Well I'm just after the real deal - I'd rather have a cheaper one done by a Japanese tatoo artist IN japan, then a japanese STYLE tattoo done here by someone who has never even been there.
ive got exzema mate! quite bad too!
