Ah cool, 25-ish hours seems to be the average for sleeves, huh :] The top half of mine is almost finished and it's taken 14 hours so far, and it's getting a bit annoying having people go "oh I know people who got a full sleeve done in 10, you're well getting ripped off!" ¬__¬

Although, these people more than likely go to the scratchers nearby

hahah yeah! i have seen sooo many crappy tattoos and sleeves. it makes me wanna cry! like I paid way more than I had  lanned, but for "god's" ake, why on earth would you make comprimises in the quality of a tattoo you will have for the rest of your live???

kevin takes $150/h, so I paid it. you want a goo dartist, you gotta pay for it!

you get what you pay for!!!

Did that hurt going under your arm? It looks terribly painful! I would LOVE to get sleeves,but am scared i'd get banished from my small ass church town. hahah

Totally! Like there's this studio about 2 miles away that willingly tattoos underage and they hardly charge anything, and they have like this little gang of kids that are always in there :/ I've seen been in there once and the guy doesn't even put clingfilm down or anything - he tattoos straight off his counter and as a piercer myself it was pretty worrying watching that happen :[ ...though I wasn't a piercer at the time but I still knew it was a shitty place.

I pay £50 an hour [pretty much $100] which I think is reasonable but so many people look shocked when I tell them that - I tend to say the phrase "good tattoos aren't cheap and cheap tattoos aren't good"

Edit...

I personally didn't find under my arm too painful at all :] Although the closest work near my armpit is about 2 or 3 inches away and even then it was just a bit of shading and some cherry blossom outlines. The worst for me so far was round the back of my arm, but I had a cold and achy skin on the day

erm... YES! I had to get the last 5 and a half hours done at once, cuz I was leaving town (pretty much for good) and 3.5hours of those 5.5 hours were dedicated to the underside of my arm... it was NOT fun! everything else was fine and i never even flinched once and whenever it pinched a bit, kev just sang to me and made me laugh or something, but that day I actually told him to please NOT try to make me laugh, cuz I was trying to breath through the pain. most people only do like 1-1.5 hours on that spot, but I had no choice, since i was leaving town... it was either suck it up, or leave town with an unfinished sleeve!

it was alright during the outlining, but after 1.5 hours it started feeling a bit dizzy and at 3 hours, I told myself I would NEVER get that part on my left arm done! lol
