Cost

What will be the cost of tattooing gayatri mantra on my arms???

um, that depends on ten tons of things. ask the artist you want to do it, in person. give them full details such as: size, font, style, color, etc...those are things needed to be known for sure.

$150 an hour seems to be the going rate for most top artists.

I'll do it for fifty bucks

I'll do it for fifty bucks.

And if you spend $50 you'll get what you pay for. Most artists we work with have a going rate of anywhere from $125-$200 an hour. It's impossible to say without knowing a lot more about what you want to get tattooed. Nonetheless, one more time a resounding "you get what you pay for". Price shopping is in poor taste and ultimately isn't going to result in a good tattoo, it will result in a cheap one.

Bullshit. Any reputable business person has a cost/profit equation that reflects the market price. When the market price is out of line, an adjuster like me steps in. Tattooing that costs $200 per hour to do that has a supply cost of less than $10 (more than likely less than $5) for the entire job, is out of line. I make a good living doing $50 tattoos. A lot of my business is covering up $200 per hour shit.......
