as for tattoos and pricing goes, it really all depends on what type of tattoo you are getting, i have intriquite stuff to small stuff and ive used several different guys, its all about whose the best at what you want, i dont have more than one tattoo by the same person, i have, however, gone to the same shop for the past 6 years and wouldnt consider going elsewhere
i mean if youre looking for simple outlined black/colored letters any yahoo can do them, if you want protraits then you need to scope some folks out, same w/ more intriquite work, i have a half sleeve in progress now thats been worked on by two guys, the first guy did the kanji letters for me b/c he was $40 cheaper than the guy who did my koi but did an outstanding job as its just simple outlining/coloring, and the guy that will be doing the water scenes is also a different guy, all handpicked in the shop by myself
now i have my sons name that runs down my ribcage and i made a mistake on that, not by quality or price but i let an apprectice do the work w/ the owner of the shop watching....shouldve let a pro handle that sensitive of an area, but i paid for it in sheer pain
the unfinished koi have sleeve...the letters were done about 2-3 weeks before the koi was done...and i will be going back after the closing on our house in october to begin finishing it $60 for the kanji, and $200 for the koi
i have a couple more, not sure if i actually have pictures of them or not....doesnt really matter though, didnt get them to show them off
