I am aware it depends on a lot of factors but the shop isn’t getting back to me as soon as I need them to, and I kind of need to know right away. I know the shops minimum is 60 dollars. I live near Columbus, OH. I want it on my shoulder in black ink. I hope I don’t sound ignorant. I’m only looking for an estimate, I don’t expect anyone to know the exact price! Thank you in advance. 🙂

How exciting, yet another creative quote/motto tattoo. Artists just love doing text tattoos so I’m sure it won’t cost much, but how dare the shop not get back to you when YOU need them to. Estimated cost $20 to have it put on a t-shirt.
(Damn, I told myself I wasn’t going to comment anymore on all of these lame quote tattoos but I just couldn’t help it.)

My beautiful grandmother who was my angel was taken away from me 3 months ago from stomach cancer would say this to me as I was growing up. It was actually one of the last things she said to me while I was visiting her for the final time, and “Laugh as much as you breathe and love as long as you live” was written on the bottom of the majority of the notes/letters she would send to me when I would be away from her. I don’t have a bunch of junky tattoos, I have none, I’ve found it quit difficult to get over her passing too soon and I’m struggling with it quite a bit. During my darkest of times that quote has lifted me up and helped me to get through a lot in life. Whether it’s “lame” or not, you are not humorous and need to step down off the invisible high horse you think you’re on, you coward.
I actually had a bad feeling about something like that but I decided to rant anyway. Truly sorry for your loss and I’ll apologize for offending you. I still tink you could do so much better (if you chose) to enhance the quote or for a memorial piece than just the lettering. I’m obviously not a fan of long text tattoos but I understand where you’re coming from so please at least take the time to find a good artist that can do nice lettering. Don’t settle for an average artist because you’re in a hurry, it woldn’t be worth it.
Your original price question is hard to answer, but probably $100-200 or so.
There is a vast difference between:
“I don’t like your tattoo.”
and
“Your tattoo is stupid and artists hate doing that tattoo and it’s a waste of time.”
You’ve never done the former that I’ve seen.
I’m sticking with Adler here. As much as I like a thought-provoking book, poem, or quote, I stand by what I said in the other thread (and what’s in my sig) regarding the technical problem with quotes as tattoos. It’s not a matter of disliking them, but rather recognizing that there are real problems with them as tattoos. Also, there are so many great books, poems, quotes, and so forth covering every aspect of life, that I can’t imagine reducing one’s life motto down to just one of them.
To the OP though, you’ve made as good an argument for getting one as can be made. If that quote is what reminds you most of your loved one, then go for it.
