How much should I be paying for a full sleeve

-Vega-

Hi guys,

just wondering what a rough cost of a half and a full sleeve is these days? Is it more or less the same ( maybe 50 quid more or less depending on the detail or .. )

Just wondering before I go in there what to expect.

Thanks.

I'd say about 350 :rolleyes:

How long is a piece of string?

Really does depend on what you're getting done, and who by.

Good luck with that I've spent about E1200 so far with another 3 or 4 sessions to go.I'm getting a greatly reduced rate as well.

It depends entirely on what you get done, which artist does it, and how fat your arm is (more space = more time).

Average prices range from 80-100 euro per hour, and sleeves can take many hours to do.

I have a deal where it's €500 a session no matter if you last 10 minutes or 10 hours.

Great deal if you ask me,from an unbelievable tattoo artist. Should work out between €1000 - €1500 depending on what your getting done.

You can probably do the outside of the upper arm in 6-9 hours, maybe less depending on the detail, or as long as you want. A full sleeve inside and out 25-40 hours maybe. Dunno, saw a sick sleeve from a Latvian artist on a forum before and he reckoned he did it in 15 hours.

Assuming you go for a few big boy sessions you'll probably pay €50-80 for the hour.

There's so many variables. I think people have posted here saying they've paid Chris in White Dragon ~£2000+ for a sleeve. There's artists down the country in small towns though that'll probably work out at €40 x 20 = <€800

I heard of a guy that'll do a sleeve for 100 quid but you have to provide the Dettol.

This there are so many variables to consider it can vary from say a thousand to a few thousand for instance I have both rib cages covered one cost me 400 the other 3,000.

All depends on what you want done, level of detail, colour or black and grey, artist speed, artists hourly rate etc

i'm starting a sleeve in 4weeks and 2days time and was told full colour sleeves depending on arm size and how much detail going into it normally take between 7-10 sessions @400 per session

I've paid 350 for my 3/4 sleeve so far on my left arm and 250 for my half sleeve on my right arm but il be making that a full sleeve aswell.
These prices are because the artist is a fella I know very well.

On a serious note I'd estimate that for me based on the work I have already done it would cost me 2 grand.

I may of underestimated the cost of mine to my wife when I was planning mine:)
