Trying to get an approximate tattoo Cost Estimation?

Your best option on getting a price would be to take to the artist you want to do it and have them give you a price. Prices can vary from shop to shop and artist to artist, even within the same shop. Location can greatly affect cost as well. Shops in places like L.A. are going to be more expensive then places in the midwest. I have a friend who wanted to get a tattoo, in L.A. it would have cost her $300, back in her midwestern hometown it was $100. Shop was recommended from L.A. so she knew she was getting a good place and not some bad shop as she hadn't been back home in years.
