    Really depends on the size you want and the detail you want to have in it. Most places charge €75-100 per hour so I'd say allow maybe 3 hours so budget about €300. Really the only way is to go into some studios and get quotes. But never just go where's cheapest. Go for the artist you like and the studio you're happy with.

    I don't like this pricing method myself. Some artists do a lot more work in an hour than others. The piece in question I wouldn't pay any more than about €220.

    Best thing to do is to go and get a quote, and go from there.

    Personally I would't pay over 200 ( depending on size)

    Here, a tattooist proposed 100e for make the job.
    I decided to go in other shop for compared ... 200e in this shop !
