How much do you reckon you've spent on your tattoos?

I had the outline of my new sleeve done on Friday. £450

Filling it will be another £400-600

I have a portrait booked at £500

Geisha was £350

Forearm lettering £200

Buddha £600

Some small ones about £200 in total, and getting these covered.

After my house, car and boat, my body art is easily my biggest expense!

£45 for my back tattoo.

£65 for my Octopus (needs another hour...)

Nope. Mines pretty cheap really. (if I remember the prices right).

No more than £600 in total I'd guess.

That's for the two back pieces, the skulls from armpit to hip and the two on my right forearm.

I think £70 to £80 an hour is a pretty standard going rate

I had my last one done on Budapest

Eastern Europe has some great tattoo artists and the prices are often much lower than in the UK

We both went away for 4 days and had tattoos done by the same guy

The trip, flights, hotels, spends and the tattoos themselves still worked out a good deal cheaper than having them done here - and we got a holiday out of it

OP.

That's nothing.

An Ex from years ago had 23 Tattoo's.

She was addicted to them and she spent about £6 grand and that was just the ones that I knew what the cost was.

She had more that I didn't know what the cost was.

I live in a very economically deprived area. Fortunately I also have found an excellent artist.

But if you're only worried about boasting how much you have spent, jog on.

The ink speaks more, and the time spent with a quality artist that the inking that they have done you don't regret and going by some tattoos I've seen on here I wouldn't even show them

About 1400 for me. Could have got it cheaper but the work wouldn't have been as good. I researched a fair bit before I had my first an the place I go has by far the cleanest work Iv seen so I'll happily pay a bit more for the quality. I'm goin to have it for life so it's worth it
