It's gonna be a 2nd amendment revolutionary war type theme for the sleeve. Tattoo artist used this as a version of the gadsen flag type thing. Eagle is the .gov snake is the people. Don't tread on me and all. Eagle doesn't have the snake by the feet. They're fighting basically.

it varies, take into consideration of time compared to price, quality of the work. if I was charged a fair price and loved the work I would do the 10-20%. I got my artist a new machine after doing my leg (26 hours of work)

To me it depends. The artist the wife and I used for our most recent is a real great guy and amazing artist. Wife is a great tipper and tipped $100 on a $200 tattoo. But he gave her a GREAT price.
I tipped 80 when he did mine for $280.

Here's the final product for my wife's tattoo, and an action pic.

That's a beautiful piece Justin. Do the arrows in the center of it have any significance?

Nah. Just something to have on it. She gave him a rough idea of what she wanted and he drew it up and turned it into this.

Thanks guys. She loves it. The artist does great work and is very fair on his pricing. Altogether he put 6 hrs of actual needle work into this piece and he only charged her $340. Plus tip of course.
