    How much would it cost to get something like this done in dublin?

    it all depends they can charge by the hour between €80 to €350 hour depending how good the artist is.How long did your sleeve take?

    I dont know anywhere in ireland that charges 350 per hour.
    ballpark figure would be about 1000 - 1300. but im not too sure, piercings are more my thing

    you should be thinking about the artist and not the price. price means nothing when it comes to tattoos. Some artists can put on a top class tattoo in 3 hours, while another artist will take 5 hours for similiar tattoo but of a lower quality. So you could be paying more for a lower quality piece. You are better off finding an artist you like and a design you like and waiting till you can afford what you want.

    if the tattoo takes 4 to 5 hours it would be about €325 an hour!

    There's no way the tattoo the person was asking about would take 4-5 hours- it's a full coloured sleeve.

    depends on the level of detail and coverage. personally i dont have a clue the length of time

    For a decent full colour sleeve your looking at around the twenty hours mark, this will vary on the size of your arm and how fast the artist is. But twenty is roughly the average

    I'd say from the pic shown and the level of detail/multi-tonal shading that it'd be 20 minimum...

    But seeing as the OP was asking about JUST the dragon, I'd say 5-6 hours, but that's just a rough guess!
