    Hi I am getting a first tattoo of a quote in Irish and I was hoping somebody could clear up or shed some light on a few things:

    Generally how much does a quote cost? Or what is the pricing structure?

    I assume words are relatively simple so is the artist a big issue?

    How long usually after would I have to keep it covered up?

    Thanks for any help.

    Depends on the size of the quote. Assuming it's small enough, you're probably looking at a minimum charge. €60 - 100 depending on shop.

    I would tend to agree but do make sure you go to someone decent. It'll make a difference in how well it comes out and stays in.

    Cover it until you get home. Have a good hot shower with antibacterial soap. Then remember to keep it moisturised and clean it regularly. Try to avoid oil based moisturers. Johnsons Bay Lotion did a great job on my last one.

    Sorry to Hi-jack this thread. but im also a first timer.
    ive come up with the idea of the tattoo i want for my first time.
    but ive a feeling i may have picked one that costs a fortune and may take forever.

    i understand that it can be done in phases, but will it look rubbish after 1st/2nd going?
    Any idea rough cost? and duration?

    Any advice would be appreciated.
