Heya im just wondering if anyone could tell me a rough price of what id be looking for to get a tattoo similar to this one (style wise) but going to get one designed myself obviously or freehanded. I was thinking around 300pounds but im no expert on prices so what do you reckon? would i be able to get a tattoo which is of the same quality as the one in the image for that price?

Im looking for that style with the shading and such, and around that size only it will stop at the top of my arm rather than all the way onto the neck and to stop about a half inch from my elbow. Also i know its probably one of those “how long is a piece of string” questions but how long do think a tattoo of that size would take to complete.
Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks.
Hi Norm
Most uk tattooists charge between £60-£85 per hour for work. A half sleeve can easily set you back £250-£500 or more depending on the scale of detail that you want.
I am not an artist but I reckon a piece that you are talking would be between roughly 6-8 hrs or so depending on the speed that the artist works and the level of intricacy of your design.
I am sure some of the artists on here would be better able to advise but £300 is not a bad guestimate but I would work on saving closer to £500 then if it is less you can treat yourself afterwards. 🙂
Best thing to do is speak with the artist who you want to do it and get a ballpark price from them.
Take Care
