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 We do not quote prices over the phone or online, but we will take appointments with a deposit given over the phone.

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!)
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 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...
OMG, that would be so much fun.
Loving Aimee's tattoo...and I've been dying to get my dragon tattoo, but I don't know if my designer will have time to come up with the design between now and the F2F. If he was, I might join the tattoo crowd...
t not looking at Pete at all
t really
Which reminds me, is anyone else considering a new tattoo? Suzi, did you already get one? Sail, did you?
I haven't gotten one yet. I ducked out in Minneapolis due to sensitive skin issues. The skin is much less tetchy about things right now, so it would be an opportune time to get something new. I don't think I want anything too complex as I'd originally planned. I want something small and distinct, but haven't decided where to put it yet. Count me in, if I have the time! I already seem to have so many things planned and it's going to be hard to pick and choose. Unless I stay longer than originally planned....
