K for what i know from CAnada.. a black tatto about the size of 1.5 inch by 1.5 inch.. costs about $40.
prices usualy depend on the size, color, and desing... if there is more then one color.. it will cost more.. if.. you have a harder design.. (meaning one that you have created) you will have to pay for the stencil.. and the paper.. they use... if it's a common design.. like a heart or a moon.. you wont have to pay extra.. but if it's a symbole you drew.. or somthing not so coommon.. ie. THe ukranian symbole.. then ya.. you might have to get a stencil for it.. (which the tattoo place provides)
this i only know from the ppl that have tattoos ... :clown: |

Hi Tranceaholic,
You sure about the Japanese symbol? Do you have an exact translation for it? I am asking because the symbol might mean "honor" in Japanese, might mean "I like to touch myself" in another language.
What part of CA you in? I live in Tujunga, near Los Angeles and know a great artist. He did a beautiful half sleeve for me.
I am not trying to "flame" you about your tattoo. :D
Just want you to know that symbols in one culture might mean totally different in another culture.

| The tattoo I want is a rose with a 3 leaf clover lookin thing at the bottom, because Im proud of my english heritage and that is what english crosses looked like in the day, the rose goes up and has 3 leaves for the trinity of father son and holy ghost, 7 thorns for the seven seals, and 7 is a big number in many other things. The rose at the top spreads out into a living cross and has three buds like the english cross theme again. The rose is for my family crest. And there are three dots arrayed in an enlongated triangle formation above the rose for the trinity again. So its the living cross of my family and culture... Just throwin that in, because a lot of people dont think about the things they will be putting on themselves for the rest of their lives... if anyone brings up the whole Christians shouldnt get tattoos thing...well #1 that isnt this topic, start a new one, and #2 I disagree :) |

Hi,
If you want, my artist is located in Pasadena and he is chinese. So he could show you different ideas if you just want a symbol.
Let me know, I'll get you the number tomorrow. Regarding the cost, you pay for quality. I am pretty sure one symbol won't cost that much.
