The guy that has done the one big piece costs 150$ an hour. You are right...its been probably 5 years or so in the works. A lot of money indeed. But like Myka said....ou have to pay for the good stuff. 200$ an hour? Whats the guys name? Have you done any research on him?

HIs name is Harley, and I saw a girl all tatted down with beautiful tats, and asked her who did them, and she said him.

Most of mine are in my profile, but I am thinking I want a Phoenix next... Nice...where you gonna get the phoenix? I am thinking the phoenix needs to be on my side, like ribcage/stomach area. I just still have not found one that I really like enough. Although I am still flirting with the tribal idea also, but still have not made up my mind...

Although I am still flirting with the tribal idea also, but still have not made up my mind... awesome...I made my guy draw the phoenix how I wanted it! I brought him several pics I found on the net & said I like the wings on this one, the head on that one, etc. He only charges $100/hr, but is still getting established. I think his boss charges $150 for his work and where I am in Texas that is the going rate for the good custom work! I like Scotty though He may not be the best yet, but he's well on his way and always does an awesome job for me! Luv2...I paid $380 for my dragon/phoenix tattoo! He charged me $350 & the rest was a tip...always, always tip your tattoo artist

It was my first tattoo and I was already 30 years old, and I was so happy with it, and I still am.

I gave him $40 on the bff tattoos which took much less time, but there were 2 of us & he just moved shops and has to rebuild clientele before making what he was at the other shop! I always tip the girl that does my nails & they treat me like a queen there...lol. Went in last week for a mani/pedi & had 2 glasses of cabernet while I got pampered!!! I felt so awesome when I left there

I am trying to combine these 3 into one big back piece just havent figured out how to do it yet. If it was me I would do the two Indian ones on the upper corners of your back (about 8"-10" each) and then have the modern military take up the bottom half of your back. That way it would look like the Indian Warriors were watching over them from the sky... Just an idea

I was thinking along the same lines, just trying to make it look good. I had another pic that I like now i cant find it.
