For those who have half sleeves, how much did it cos? I'm looking to get one, and just trying to get a feel for prices. I'm gonna go to my tattoo shop today but they don't open til noon so I thought I'd ask here.

I don't have a half sleeve, but ex is a tattoo artist and I have a lot of tattoos in general. First it would depend if it was full color 1/2 color or just b/w, and how much detail but the price should range you anywhere from $700 - $2,000....depending also on the quality of artist you get....If the artist charges per hour I wouldn't go to anyone who charges less than $100/hr jmo (unless they are just opening their own place....they cut the prices down to get new clients) and half sleeves on average take about 8 hours....depending on detail of course....hope this helps!

My hubby has a full colored sleeve with extreme detail. It cost him about $1600-$1800. I'll post a picture in a min!

The pricing depends on the artist and studio they tattoo for.

When you do a sleeve, either half or full, they charge per hour. It can be $100-500 an hour, depends on the artist, design, detail, color, etc.

Thanks ladies. I would love to see the pic. I think it's just gonna be pretty simple. Skull, some flowers, an awareness ribbon. It's still all coming together in my head right now but that's the concept.

It was freehand and thought up by the artist.
