How much do you reckon you've spent on your tattoos?
I had the outline of my new sleeve done on Friday. £450
Filling it will be another £400-600
I have a portrait booked at £500
Geisha was £350
Forearm lettering £200
Buddha £600
Some small ones about £200 in total, and getting these covered.
After my house, car and boat, my body art is easily my biggest expense! |

£45 for my back tattoo.
£65 for my rat.
£65 for my Octopus (needs another hour...)
Nope. Mines pretty cheap really. (if I remember the prices right). |

"Roughly about £5000 in total.
Both full sleeves, plus some on my lower right leg.
Estimated about 50 hours work, at £100 per hour."
This post makes me grateful I don't have to pay London prices for my tattoo. I will cry if my artist ever moves there! |

I think £70 to £80 an hour is a pretty standard going rate
I had my last one done on Budapest
Eastern Europe has some great tattoo artists and the prices are often much lower than in the UK
We both went away for 4 days and had tattoos done by the same guy
The trip, flights, hotels, spends and the tattoos themselves still worked out a good deal cheaper than having them done here - and we got a holiday out of it  |

OP.
That's nothing.
An Ex from years ago had 23 Tattoo's.
She was addicted to them and she spent about £6 grand and that was just the ones that I knew what the cost was.
She had more that I didn't know what the cost was. |

I live in a very economically deprived area. Fortunately I also have found an excellent artist. |

"I have 4 cost about £300 in total. It's £80-£100 per hour here.
Frank wants one once his treatment is finished so looking for ideas
JG x"
My guy charges £80 per hour or £450 per day. Well worth it for a good artist  |

No idea. But I'm booked in for 3 hours to start on my sleeve in a few weeks. That's £200. It'll need a lot more hours than that. Might brave the whole day on the next sitting. I've 11 tattoos in total so far some are tiny others not so much. |

"My tattooist charged £80 an hour. That was apparently quite pricey for around here but I love her work so it's been worth it. I think in total I've had 11 hours so that's £880. "
It soon adds up eh. Your tattoos are stunning! |

My first 2 were £40 each and my last one was £140 so I'm only at £220 at the moment! Got more in the pipeline for when I finish uni and have a job again though! |

"I want a new tattoo, it's been far too long since my last one 
What do you have Miss B?  "
I've got about 8 in total, one of which I want covering so that's my next tattoo |

Nearly £3000 on on my sleeve and another £1000 with my others
But if you're only worried about boasting how much you have spent, jog on.
The ink speaks more, and the time spent with a quality artist that the inking that they have done you don't regret and going by some tattoos I've seen on here I wouldn't even show them |

£60 my first two were little ones done in manc and i paid for them, all the rest were done for free as i knew a tattooist, unfortunately its my ex's friend so no more free tattoos
I have probably about £500 to £800 worth of work that needs doing to finish my half sleeve and redo my inner arm |

no idea, never even thought to keep a tally to be honest...i can't remember half the prices i paid either as some were so long ago now. i get tatts done purely for the tatts, the having to pay for them bit is just a side effect  |

About 1400 for me. Could have got it cheaper but the work wouldn't have been as good. I researched a fair bit before I had my first an the place I go has by far the cleanest work Iv seen so I'll happily pay a bit more for the quality. I'm goin to have it for life so it's worth it |
