The Tattoo Megathread vs. Tramp Stamp

I agree with everyone's opinion here.

I have visited two shops: The first one being $150-200 price range. The second one being $120. Both are very well respected in the city. The first shop I visited still makes me feel the most at ease. So, even though, I'll be shelling out a bit more cash, I think the peace of mind is worth it. This is my first tattoo, so the comfort issue is #1 on my list. Going to meet with the guy tomorrow. Let you know how it goes

Cheers
 
The fact that the tattoo shop is in NYC might also have something to do with it. You're going to pay more for almost anything you get in the city.
 
Newest, about 6 hours of tattooing

That's great to hear Tomer! Good for you man. Can't wait to see a photo of it!

I'm going to merge this with our tattoo megathread now :)
 
Guys, will post tattoo tomorrow...very happy with results

Side note: Tattoo turned out to be $150...I gave him a $30 tip (20 percent), is that adequate? Wasn't sure if I should have given him $50?!

Cheers
 
It's hard for me to guage how appropriate that amount was because I'm not from a "tipping culture", but I reckon it sounds totally fine :)
Can't wait to see a pic!
 
Tomer that looks great! Nice one :)

scubagirl, can't wait to see the pic of your new tatt! <3
 
Nope, I reckon you can make it masculine. What type of paw print(s)? Like, what species?
 
my puppy's paw :)

the plan is to dip his paw in paint and stamp it on paper
and voilà theres my tattoo
