Hey mike,
i actually do tattoos for a living bro, and heres how it works. if the guy said 850.00 then you need to make sure its worth it by looking at his sheets(portfolio). portarits are always expensive, ALWAYS, simply because its more tedious than any oher style of work, and there are special needle sets that they have to MAKE (at elast i make my own, i ahvnt seen them for sale really) Just make sure that the guy is worth it, in this indusrty(tattooing) the phrase,"you get what you pay for" rings true 99.9 percent of the time. I have my spine tattooed over my spne anatomically correct, and i got it done by paul boothe, i had to pay a mind numbing hourly rate,three seperate trips to the last rights studio, and a 7 month waiting period. and it is the dopest work i have ever seen ad it was worth EVERY peen spent. Just make sure that the artist you are working with is on the same page, and make sure that he his worth what he asks. Dont forget to shop around also bro, i\'m sure you\'ll end up with a great peice.
