Tattoo question - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Sooo im a novice when it comes to tattoos. I only have a small tattoo on my right arm a bit bigger than my palm. Im looking to get a tattoo on my chest now. Itll be from shoulder to shoulder with color. But the guy charges 160 an hour. Itll roughly end up costing 1200-1500 plus tip...
I fell in love with the design he gave me.
Now i dont know if thats expensive or not for something like mine. He does seem very experienced looking at his portfolio and he does work at a well known shop.
Anyone capable of helping me figure out if price wise, im not getting ripped off? Preferably people with alot of tattoos.
Ps: please dont flame me and say i can use it on car parts :P

Seems reasonable to me. My friends have tattoos, all epic; and their tattoo artists charged them around that price per hour.

When in doubt always remember,
Cheap art ain't good, and good art ain't cheap

No regrets here at all. He did the outline today took a two and a half hours. Charged me 300 plus i gave him 60 tip. I love how it came out.
Pretty painful though. Worried about getting it colored since itll take longer and more area to cover. That = more pain LOL

That mind over matter thing really works to a certain extent.
At least for me I found whenever I mentally prepared myself for pain it wasn't as bad as when it's random.
I also heard it helps to talk during your visit to take your mind off of it

Glad it came out good! Post pics(I think there's a tattoo thread) once it's colored!!
And remember this is for life! You want the best and only the best!!
