tattoo etiquette question

    So I've been planning to get a tattoo for a while now, but due to unforseen circumstances I don't have as much money as expected, but I think I should hae enough to cover the tattoo I want. Just in case though would it be acceptable to tell the artist at the start I only have X amount and do as much as they can for that? Or should I just wait until I'm sure I'll have enough, even though I'll have to wait awhile? I'm kinda a newbie to the whole tatto thing so advice is much appreciated!

    Go in to where ever you are going to go, talk to them about the tattoo. See what price they give you. Then see where ya stand.

    No point worrying yet :)

    thanks for the reply! sorry if this sounds stupid but if they give me a price do they usually stick to that or when they're finished could they say its actually more?

    Double check with them and ask for a solid final price. They should give you a final price and stick to it. :)

    as tattooist.... try to not to dealin with artist. only deal is his deal. but you can do something like that. go and tell him how much money you have and then, man will tell you what the size he can do.
    im doin many times o lot cheaper if client give me free hand for design.

    have you been in to the tattooist and discussed what you want to do - sometimes its best to go in before your appointment - as cover ups can be tricky - this way the tattooist will know ahead of time what they are instore for as extra work and time for him / her will mean more money for you ..

    also have you looked at other shops or is this the only one

    either way good luck - always good to see your tattooists work before getting anything done

    you learn from mistakes :(
