Sounds about similar to the guy I head to see. Just priced up some cover up on my wrist to do half sleeve of intricate work and it's going to be £600 for two days. The lad who did my back was a friend and apprentice back then so didnt cost me too much so hes going to finish that as well. Been priced from a few places £60 - £90 an hour for various other bits of work I need doing  |

Around about the same, just depends on place and how good they are but never heard anywhere I know of being lower than £50 a hour but those ones though still good are normally your basic tattoos nothing fancy.
But I was just quoted £120 for 2 hours work. |

"Not a bad price for 2 days with it being intricate and a cover aswell, it all depends on what your wanting these days doesn't it because they specialize in certain types of work"
Yeah it's a bit of blackwork but Norse mapwork around my forearm  love getting inked. It's an expensive exercise but I still indulge when i can lol the guy I'm seeing for the forearm specialised in cover up work anyway so it's all good. Good price plus a specialist |

Go to Eastern Europe and take a holiday with the difference in price over there compared to the UK
Some fantastic artists in Poland, Czechia and Hungary who charge less than mediocre ones here |

"This seems like one of those things where you probably don’t want the cheapest price, someone who knows their stuff is more important  "
Exactly this! Remember being out on a trip and one of lads decided on a dodgy cheap tat to 'commemorate' the journey. End result and problems after meant he will remember that for a very long time  |

My thigh was 300euros on holiday a few years ago. He was really good . A proper brooding artist type.
The people I've seen here have never filled me with confidence that they could do anything delicate or pretty |

"I don't have any tattoos but I believe like traditional artists some are more talented than others so wouldn't they charge more? "
Yes, also different types of tattoo. Some are really intricate, photo realistic. Some are colourful, bold and traditional. |

My local tattoo studio has a motto, 'good tattoos aren't cheap, cheap tattoos aren't good'. |

"What is the going rate for the tattooists you use or around where you are?
Been to see the bloke who did my sleeve this morning and he's charging £75 an hour or £400 for a full day."
I paid that recently for mine |

"There can normally be a waiting list and be a bit pricey....spend the money and get it done right"
Mine was a 6/9 month wait list.
I booked all my day sessions in one hit |
