Tattoos range in price dramaticly. The best way for you to get the fairest price.
1. Be prepared. do some research have an idea of what you want. Where you may put it.
2. Dont be a bitch.
3. Make an APPOINTMENT. Leave a cash deposit. Pay with cash.
3.5 Show up with no kids and only one person besides yourself. Unless your whole group is getting tattooed
4. I have people that show up all the time and want to spend $400 to a $1000 on a tattoo and they want it now. If I cant do it now theyll go next door, down the street, etc.. I need to make money so if its now or never. It will probably be now. But man that sure does suck. I want to turn out qualtiy not qaunity. I love to create and draw and LISTEN to my clients and Bring thier Vision to the World in style. Preferrably my style their idea. Around $250 or more I need time to come up with a plan. I need you to trust me based on what you see. The sketches that I show you are that. I dont show my clients fully rendered pieces of art. Your not paying me to do a painting. Which I will do anytime you got the cash. Your paying for a fully rendered tattoo not drawing.
5. Rule #4 does not apply if what you have is ready to go. Say like I have this shirt with this bad ass artwork on it that is clear and easy to see(not the size of my thumb).
6. Try to prepay for your tattoo. Tattooist that are Artist draw for pride and fun. Its not where the money is. So make sure you leave enough cash that we know you are serious.
7. Show up on time.
8.If your going to tip tip 1st. Its to late after the tattoo is done.
IN closing make an appointment show up on time be polite (not fake) and patient . Pay with cash and trust me.
$$$$ For a limited time all people that come in and make an appointment for a weekday let me do my thing (which means your Idea my way.) Prepay and show up on time will recieve a rate of $84 an hour. Thats 30% off the lowest price we have ever charged.............. You know how fast I am!!!!!! Watching me tattoo is like watching the Ye Olde yankee workshop without commercials... Its Like your done already well heck I guess Ill take another one... Ha Ha
Lets see oh yeah remember I tattoo in a private room its huge its comfortable though I would bring a small clean pillow that you dont care about. There is my ipod going. Julies is here to helps us if we need something..etc.. Im saying this because sometimes people bring their kids their friends, cell phones ringing, pager going off yore friends wants a price on some tattoo that they cant wait till I m done with yours to ask about. You know my personal goal is to make sure every tattoo has 225 shades of color in it. And that all black and grey work is broken down to twelve shades which is photo realistic. The mind cant compute. I cant do this with whining crying be interupted your friend bumping in to the chair. You kid bumping in to me. I guess what Im trying to says is that I am dumb white trash and Im kinda spacey. So I need all the help I can get. I do one thing great I build shit cool shit awesome shit people tell me all the time I should have my own show. If I tell my friends Im going to draw something paint something design something and I try to explain their what. the hell are you talking about and their last friends are " Ray I dont know what the hell your trying to explain to me but everything I have ever seen you do in your entire life is done right and is cool as shit. So I have no doubt that this thing your talking about will be too." And thats no shit. Oh yeah since were talking about shit I would like you to know that I can tattoo any type of shit be it green poop brown poop runny poop cow poop horse poop human poop and of course smelly poop (dont scratch and sniff).
P.S. Oh yeah tattoos last forever so dont be cheap!
