Question for you guys. I've had a tattoo planned for a long time now, and I'm ready to get it done. It's TINY. Like, 1 cm tall by 1/2 cm wide. Wondering what to expect to pay for something like that? Even a range would be ideal. I've been told it'll take about 15 minutes, but I understand they still need all the equipment and what not no matter how long it takes.

Just a guess but maybe 100 bucks. I would assume 1 hour min

Try to find a apprentice perhaps. I'm guessing that size doesn't require too much detail and usual shop rates are 120-160/hr min of 1 hour. I knew of a apprentice that would only charge 50/hr at a shop and it was great for simple stencil work etc.

Not sure if it a common thing for shops/apprentices to do so but for quick job, you don't really wanna pay +$100

The charge is 1 hr time minimum. So $100 is fair.

always wondered what goes in for tattoo aftercare on a back...I mean...did you not apply anything to it at all or just where you can reach? or did you have someone applying anything to it for you every so many hours

Had my wife help with mine.

It's a semicolon. A punctuation mark that signifies that a sentence could have ended, but didn't. And that the second part of that phrase would not make sense without the first part.

It's a mark to signify how far I've come in my battle with depression. There were many moments that my story could have ended, but luckily, it didn't. It's been the semicolon of my life. And since I am a giant nerd with a journalism background, it's just nerdy enough to suit me perfectly.

Healing my full back neck to knees was a pain in the ass (no pun intended). Most of the time I had my gf help out with the lotion if she was around.. really hard to reach the middle of my back without help. I even had to resort to using saran wrap with lotion on it.

So glad that major piece of real estate is finished and on to some easier to reach spots
