That all depends on what you are getting. There are many factors. Some shops are specialized in certain types of tattoos. Some people are proficient in black/grey work and portraits. Some are geared more towards japanese style ink. Some are specialized in traditional American work. Just gotta find the right guy. Some charge by the piece, some charge by the hour. Some will do it for a bag of weed.

Good for the athletes. I'd do the same if I was in their shoes. Sign a jersey and get a free sleeve. Sign me up.

Don't think so unless you are going crazy large. In a couple of years I'll be able to tell ya. The wife is wanting a lift since the kiddo came along.

My tribal sleeve alone was $1900.00.

Why are we assuming these kids are so poor? A full scholarship could save a kid and his fam $100,000+ they otherwise would have spent, and most of them also get housing/living stipends that more than cover any expenses they incur in a college town.

i think many people just have the preconceived idea that the majority of the players are from poor backgrounds, when many are likely from middle class families.
