The Complete Guide to Pricing Your Tattoo Design

I often get asked by people looking to get a tattoo: how much do you think this will cost? Of course each person has their own unique design in mind and everyone wants to know exactly how much their design is going to cost them. However, pricing tattoos is very difficult. You can not give a simple answer to a question like that. The price of a tattoo can vary on a lot of factors. However, here is a general guide so you know some of the factors and some price ranges that would be considered decent.

The Complete Guide to Pricing Your Tattoo Design

First Factor: The Shop

Every shop has it's own pricing guidelines and even every tattoo artist in the shop might have their own ways of pricing a tattoo. The more famous the shop or artist is the more expensive the tattoo will be. Also the price can changedepending on how busy the shop is at the time you go in. If they are packed up with clients then they are going to quote you a much higher price then if they are looking for work.

Second Factor: The Design

Another factor that goes into the final price of the tattoo is the design itself. If you have a really large tattoo design in mind and you want the art work to be drawn by the tattoo artist it is going to cost a significant amount more then if you have some flash design that you found at their shop on the wall. I know the size of the design and the difference between custom drawn and flash will significantly change the price.

Third Factor: Time

Another factor that always goes into pricing the tattoo design is the amount of time itwill take to do the work. A large back piece is going to take a significant number of hours over a small Wrist tattoo. If you are looking for something really big like a full back tattoo or a body suit you are going to be spending lots of hours over multiple visits to the tattoo shop and it is going to cost a huge amount of money. You should easily spend thousands of Dollars for a full back tattoo. However, small designs that can be done quickly in one sitting of 30 minutes to an hour are obviously going to cost much less.

General Rules

First and foremost don't ever go bargain shopping for a tattoo design. Do you really want the guy that is the cheapest to do you tattoo design? This is a permanent tattoo design that you are going to live with for the rest ofyour life and you do not want it coming out all messed up just to save a few bucks. Second you do not ever want to try and negotiate or bargain down a tattoo artist. This will infuriate the artist and can often offend them. Most tattoo artists do their work for a living. Yes they might love creating designs and making tattoos but in the end they do this to put Food on their plate and pay the bills. They have worked hard to get to the level they are at and be able to charge the prices they are charging. Negotiating with them is like doubting their skills. With that in mind you do not want to negotiate and you do not want to go with the lowest price it can be wise to search a few different stores and get quotes from different artists. Thus way you can find an artist that you connect wellwith and someone who you like their designs. The price often will seem reasonable to you if you shop around and find an artist that you really like.

So this gets us down to the question we started with know how much will my tattoo design be? Obviously due to what is stated above this is hard to answer. However here is a general guideline that can help you but it into some ranges and perspective.

Small tattoo design (Wrist, foot, ankle)-Between $ 50 and $ 150

Medium tattoo design (forearm, leg, upper back, lower back)-Between $ 150 to $ 500

Large tattoo design (Full back, sleeve, full leg)-Between $ 500 to $ 2,000

Get LAID: The Easy Way to Pick Up Very Hot, Beautiful Girls In Bars and Clubs For Same-Night Sex

You see, getting laid successfully in nightclub and bar
situations is all down to understanding woMen's
psychological view of casual sex ... and the actual process of
meeting guys socially when on a night out.

Most guys don't believe that a "nice" girl would ever sleep
with a guy she just met that night in a bar or a club. Well,
this kind of thinking is out dated and not enTirely true.
You see, modern society places on social "stigma" ongirls
who are considered "cheap" and have sex on the first night
but the real FACT is that, under the right circumstances, to
lot of "nice" girls would sleep with guys they just
met ...IF ... nobody else knows about it!

If you don't believe this, just think about how WILD young
girls get when they go to a foreign country on vacation,
when all their usual friends and family are not there to
Watch them. You would be amazed at how "loose" they can get
in those exceptional circumstances. So you can see that if
you want to succeed in having easy one night stands with hot
women, all you have to do is ...CREATE THE RIGHT ENVIRONMENT
where they can relax and not feel Watched and judged by the
rest of society.

Now, let's look at how to createthis environment. First of
all you have to plan the enTire night BEFORE you even leave
your house that evening. I'm going to repeat this point
because it's so important: "Planning" is absolutely crucial!
You must make sure you're your house is nice and tidy for
when you bring girls back. Make sure you've got soft, dim
lights, nice music and some drinks. You'll see why you need
these in a minute.

One night stands generally work better if you're going out
with friends although it's still possible if you're on your
own. Okay, the next thing is to have a very easy way to get
back to your house from the last club of the night. I always
try to find a club very NEAR my house or if I'm out of town,
I'll make sure to go to a> club near the hotel I'm staying
at.

Why is this so important? Remember why women don't feel
comfortable having sex with guys they just met: the social
stigma ... well, the closer you are to your place, the less time
she has to consciously THINK of what she's about to do with
you. Trust me, this is a very BIG factor in your getting
laid.

Okay, so here's how you arrange everything: go to a bar
first early in the night with your friends. Look for a
couple of girls to hook up with ... even if they're not your
first choice, your aim here is to get them to come with you
to your final club (which is close to your house).

You see, by arriving with girls, girls will see you as
desirable ... and not desperate (which is veryimportant). Then
just keep your eyes out for other girls that might be
interested in your "group" of friends. Instead of looking
for any one particular girl you like, focus on just getting
GROUPS OF GIRLS into your own group so everybody can mix
together. You see, by creating this large group, you'll be
ready for the final sTAGe of your "getting laid" plan.

At this sTAGe, all the girls would feel comfortable and safe
in the group and once the night is winding down, just
announce to the group that you just heard there's a great
Party happening "down the road" from the club and there's
lots of free drinks and good music. Say to the group that it
is an exclusive "invitation" only Party and because you're a
personal friend of theguy having the party, he's allowed
you to bring about ten friends.

I hope you can now see where this plan is going! Oz
everyone's cool with the plan, you all head back to your
house where you have your "party" situation already arranged
in advance. And of course once you get the girls in this
"exceptional" situation, it becomes easier to get physically
intimate with the one you like in the group and take her to
your room and the rest should happen pretty naturally.
