11.30.16 | Oh, also I'm temporarily pausing drinking and might be sharing my food with Lucca for a while. |
Trebor.
11.30.16 | 10.19.16 Dumbest thing you've spent money on?
gonna need to update
lol just kidding hope your tattoos come out nice |
CalculatingInfinity
11.30.16 | Post the tat when you get it :D
I love the concept of them but I'll probably never get one. |
DarkSideOfLucca
11.30.16 | Ahahah, thanks man
And yeah, considering I'm also saving for other things it's probably not the most adult thing, but I've had the same idea for about 7 years and I am getting close to the point where I can afford it and still eat (kind of), so hey I'm getting antsy. |
DarkSideOfLucca
11.30.16 | Will do! Wont be until June though, aha - apparently these guys schedule very far in advance |

Deathconscious
11.30.16 | ive spent around $3500 so far and i only have four. ive got two big ones, a medium sized one, and a small one. want more but yeah, its fucking expensive. |
guitarded_chuck
11.30.16 | ive got one tattoo and like the idea of them but yeah i cant justify paying for them |

11.30.16 | Balls clean the jizz out of your "e" key so you don't keep omitting them. |
Relinquished
11.30.16 | I got a couple meshuggah tats myself
that said I saved pretty money for those |
DarkSideOfLucca
11.30.16 | Yeah they said the base pay would be like 3k. I almost fainted. |
pjquinones747
11.30.16 | I've put like 7 or 800 into my half sleeve because its a lot of solid black but the bottom half is all detail and it's gonna end up being like 1500 alone. Might not do it due to my career choices though. |
MO
11.30.16 | I have 1 tat, may get one more but yea if you're going colour that's where it really gets pricey |
Mystletainn
11.30.16 | They're also tacky and a waste of money. |
Relinquished
11.30.16 | nothing tacky about good art or meaning |
DarkSideOfLucca
12.01.16 | [2] - it's moreso artwork inspired by meshuggah because of real life reasons, plus stuff about my family and loved ones - a bit much to explain here aha but it's not just a band tattoo |
Deathconscious
12.01.16 | i mostly stay away from colored ink, they tend to age worse than black ink, though darker colors seem to do ok. |
Tyler.
12.01.16 | How much did they say it was gonna cost |
Deathconscious
12.01.16 | "Yeah they said the base pay would be like 3k. I almost fainted." |
Tyler.
12.01.16 | Didn't see that lol that's a lot |
Deathconscious
12.01.16 | 3k is a shit ton though, id expect that to be like a giant back piece or something (or maybe prices are different where you live, idk). where are you getting it? |
Tyler.
12.01.16 | Yeah 3K seems excessive . like mine are huge but that just seems like too much |
Scarce
12.01.16 | I have John Scarce's face tattooed on my ballsack lol.
Yea, they're quite expensive. My mom got hers at a place called Speakeasy or something along those lines in NYC, and they're really good and I think not too expensive (by general tattoo standards) |
Kimm
12.01.16 | Yepppp I'm not even halfway through my sleeve yet and it's not been cheap. Worth it though! |

12.01.16 | Getting mine at Kings Ave tattoos in NY |
Hawks
12.01.16 | My tattoo guy gives me and my friend dirt cheap prices compared to all of his other clients, rules pretty hard. I have a full sleeve on my right arm and it probably cost me less than $300-350 to do the whole thing. |
DarkSideOfLucca
12.01.16 | Less than $350 for the whole thing? And my half sleeve is gonna be at least 3k? Jesus man, how good are you at giving head? |
GhostOfSarcasticBtrd
12.01.16 | "how good are you at giving head?"
Mighty presumptuous of you. People pay me for the privilege to suck my dick so you never know the arrangement. |
Tyler.
12.01.16 |

DarkSideOfLucca
12.01.16 | Touche, my bad |
Hawks
12.01.16 | Lmao yeah bro 3k is ridiculous. I have them all over my body and I probably haven't even paid that much over the 6 years I've been getting tattooed. |
GhostOfSarcasticBtrd
12.01.16 | I mean look at Tyler, he just offered me a blank check for the exchange. Didn't even ask about the price that's how badly he wants it. |
Piglet
12.01.16 | ive been seriously considering getting a catch 33 tattoo or something along those lines but idk theres no guarantee it doesn't come out tacky and a waste of money |
Relinquished
12.01.16 | that's where being your own design artist helps |
Dewinged
12.01.16 | Get it. Money well spent. |
DarkSideOfLucca
12.01.16 | Now I'm debating getting another quote but it's also going to be half my arm forever so I dunno if I want to compromise...damn NY prices. |
Relinquished
12.01.16 | NY is pricey yea, wait once you settled and are in other states/countries |
Piglet
12.01.16 | If New York is so expensive, then how far away is Boston, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Washington etc.? That seems like a relatively small compromise
|
Dewinged
12.02.16 | My advice Lucca: Don't go with text, images can and will have different interpretations throughout your life. |
Kimm
12.02.16 | Less than $350 for a full sleeve? Holy shit. |
calmrose
12.02.16 | less than $350 for a full sleeve is ridiculous
damn if that was the case for me, I'd have at least both arms done by now lol |
Impervious
12.02.16 | Yeah I would have to know the artist is top dollar for 3k. It is NY though too.
I think Piglet is on to something. If you can still find a decent artist elsewhere you'd prolly spend like a third of that or less including the money spent to travel there. Minor inconvenience but all the same it could save you quite a bit. Food for thought. |
DarkSideOfLucca
12.02.16 | Probably my best bet tbh. Anyone have any recommendations? The only one I really knew about was King's Ave because my brother, dad, cousins, aunt, whoever else in my family all went there for their tattoos. |

01.07.17 | I'd rather spend the same money on gold or jewelry that I can resell later or holds value :P |
