How much would a half sleeve tattoo like THIS cost?

Since you already know about variations due to artists or location i'm going to say starting at maybe $180+.

If i could make a suggestion... if you have friends who have large pieces done ask them where they went and how much they paid and then visit the places to find out. i have one on my foot and it's more intricate than the one i have going down my spine and it was less but was done by a guy who specializes ONLY in large pieces. Good luck and just do your homework.

OH! check out your local yelp section. they have user reviews and tons of info about different studios in the areas.

Since it's pretty much all filler and background and not much else going on I'd say about 500$. It will still take multiple sessions and I estimated about 100$ an hour. You should make pretty good progress because your artist doesn't have to change colors and the pattern is simple.

can be as low as $500 or as high as $2000 it all depends on how much color the tattoo involves, the more color you use the more expensive it will be, i got an upper arm tattoo of a cross nd it had 3 colors nd it cost bout 400 so i replaced the color with black nd i got it for bout 160

My good friend who has alot of tattoos said it would be anywhere from 3 to 4 thousand dollars....and its like $130 an hour depending on where you go...
