Gday every brand new member! this is a awesome site, Well Done! My names Ben, I am a lead guitarist in a metal band. I love music.
Anyway i was wondering if anyone no's the Lead Guitarist KERRY KING from SLAYER, Well he has a realy big tribal tattoo on his right arm. it start just on his neck and around the center back area. well i was wondering if someone would be able to give me some advice on the cost, the stages i need to go through, plans etc. Any help would be very apreciated.

Cheers Ben.

Welcome to the board Ben, what band to you play for?

I think this style looks better it's what I have, I think the tribal looks better if the designs arent so thick, and especially if you're not a big guy.

It all depends on how much you are going to have on your back, and how detailed the design is, so I cant give you an estimate cost, it varies.

yo ben , welcome to the forum. The cost on that tribal would prob. fall into the hourly rate, an avg rate for custom work is 100.00, when you go to a shop ask to see photos of the finished tribal they did, not all artist can make tribal look good, ive had to redo this guys tribal on his back, ill post a pic of the process, dont just jump at the best price, YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR !
