    Default What have you spent on tattoos?

    In terms of money and/or time...


    I've spent about 6 hours in the chair and maybe 700 bucks altogether. I'm just curious on what some of the rest of you have sacrificed for your art.

    I'm most interested in Jax's response because her tat's are so widespread and intricate but I also want to know about everyone else.

    so far i've spent about 400 bucks and have about 4 and a half hours' worth of work. i've got plans for more, like gettin ones i have colored in, but that requires money, which is kinda hard to come by when you're tryin to pay for school too. meh, oh, well.

    4-5 hours tattoos £85 (soon will be much much higher )

    and combined about an hour in piercings £35

    i can only imagine it costs a shit load or you all have huge pieces, i have tats on either arm about 5in high and 4 in wide, tat on base of foot, which took ages coz it tickled like hell, and one on my ass that didnt take long, was just a laff to get :P

    300 or so dollars, cut away the zeroes and that's the hours.

    I'm not anywhere near as tattooed as I want to be.

    I'm guessing around ten hours chair time, and the cost was, well...nearly free.

    Jax, how do you get your hair done, and what's the cheapest way to get it done? I need something that will stay in for a while and be vibrant. My hair is really dark brown...so I get kinda screwed when I go for lighter colors.

    You have to bleach it out to blonde before you add color.

    I found that Punky Color tends to stay the longest...

    http://www.garmentdistrict.com/store...ndex_punky.htm

    Also, if you do not like to maintain it all the time, just do the tips,
    or some streaks, so it is easy to re-color when it starts to fade...
    That way, you can keep your roots their natural color, and you
    don't have to keep re-bleaching your roots all the time....

    With the exception of around $50 bucks I paid for a Saxon tattoo when I was drunk and fourteen and drunk at a party, I don't think I've paid for any of my ink. The really awful Saxon tattoo is covered up now so I haven't paid money for any ink you can see.

    I think Ive spent a total of $200 on ink... partially because I do tattoo's myself. So, I paid for 4 of mine and spent no more than a few hundred bucks. And Im about to get a half sleeve done at little to no cost.. ^.^

    If I have the money I go to friends that do hair, or just anyone that can do vibrant colors (not many salons have the stuff to give bright colors). If Im broke, I buy the bleach/toner kit from Hot Topic of all places (works better than any bleach Ive used from beauty supply stores), and bleach it until there is absolutely no color left in it. Thats about the only way.

    I should add that I only use Manic Panic, Punky Color did not impress me...or Special Effects.

    So what you're saying is melted crayons is NOT the way to go? Cause I dunno...my theory behind it is pretty sound. I mean fire+Crayons+More Fire = Colored Hair in my book.

    One of my good friends from back in high school started working in a tattoo shop and he was setting up to give me a bunch of shit I wanted for free.

    Then he got all fucked up on drugs, lost his job, went into rehab for a few months, just long enough to be diagnosed hard-core scizophrenic, and moved to a mental hospital where he proceeded to lose the rest of his damn mind.

    He's a whole different person now and I can't even handle hanging out with him.

    And now I lost a friend and I still don't have any free ink...

    Dublin, Edinburgh, London....

    Started out in pubs but a few lucky times it ended in homes.....

    But then I got attached to the hot Peruvian girl from Queens who was part of my group. And since I'm a one woman man, we stuck together until she met her boyfriend at JFK airport. She wasn't a one man woman and I didn't say anything to her bf.
