[QUOTE="sctattooer, post: 6271024, member: 599063"] First off, if the guy is good enough to actually do sleeves, he wouldnt be trading for subs. A good rule of average is about $750 for a quarter sleeve, $1500 for a half sleeve. Prices are negotiable for some tattooers, but nobody working in a shop will do a half sleeve for a pair of subs. That is, unless they REALLY ****. Beware of "tattooists" from Craigslist. Most are full of $hit. Don't listen to the "I'm between shops right now", or "I can give you a better deal at my house". If these guys were any good, they'd be in a shop. I see tattoos every day that come from home tattooers. I cover up an assload of them. People usually say "but he was clean, he even opened the needles in front of me". That would be fine if everyone knew exactly what to look for, but most folks are VERY surprised when I show them how easy it is to throw a dirty needle in a sealed pack. A box of 100 needle packs costs 6 bucks, so how do you REALLY know he doesnt just rinse them? Beware [/QUOTE]
