It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.

(muttering at all the non-metal-allergic women with cool tats)

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.

And very pretty it is too, Empress.

...so what kind of money are we talking here? Just out of curiosity...

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

...how much does it cost to get a small tattoo, exactly? In SF?

Depending on the artist and the complexity of the design, I'd say between $50-100.

I do want a third one, but I need more time to think about the design.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.

I'm not a tattoo fan so I'm not knowledgeable about prices, but the SF Bay Area has to have one of the higher concentrations of shops in the US, which logically should mean lower prices. Anyway, Sacred Rose Tattoo's FAQ says thusly:

HOW MUCH IS IT GOING TO COST?
Currently we have a shop minimum of $50. Our hourly rate for large work is $150. Most artists will quote you a price on smaller work during a personal consultation. We do not quote prices over the phone or online, but we will take appointments with a deposit given over the phone.

Our wings are not tired.

Totally cheering on the radical hair color changes and tattoos. Not indulging in either.

Jessica, did you get my email letting you know I added the new file for the tee backs?

I did, and I changed the grey shirts to use the new graphic. (I just forgot to mention it, um, anywhere. Oops!)

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Pthlbbthpthlpppbt! Cafepress is "temporarily out of stock" of the SF2F tote bag. But I have the money *now*. pout.

Cool. Just needed to be sure my email had gotten through.

I'm getting the pig!

I can't hear Nicole and I don't want a third tattoo, especially not one on my ankle.

Awww! That's so cute. So, did you already pick one out?

Oh Nicole - my weakness.

I'm your weakness? Right on! And you're the wind beneath my wings, hon.

Aimee, I saw the pic of your tat and it's fabulous! Can't hardly wait to see it in person.

So, maybe Fay, Perkins, Suzi, Brenda and Jess (if she by some stroke of luck decides on one in time for SF), and me. I wonder if we can get a group rate...
