I would say around $250-600, it’s not color, but it’s tedious shading. I think that it depends on what kind of artist and tattoo shop you go to, because artist charge differently based on personal accomplishment and integrity. But it’s only black ink, so what they are charging you for is skill…. so that is hard to rank. I would go and see a specific artist for that kind of detailed estimate.

What would look good with this nautical star tattoo?
January 20th, 2010
I don’t know what to have with this star, I did have a cross behind it, but I couldn’t think what design to have on the cross…
I’m planning to have the tattoo on my chest… right side, just above the nipple. And im a guy LOL!!
Anyone got any ideas?
What about wings like these: http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/Kmozisek/WingedNauticalStar-1.jpg
Or else some brick wall patter (just few dark bricks apart) should look strong and cool, or a chessboard huh

Unfortunately, i have nooooooo talent when it comes to drawing. Does anybody who may have some drawing skill want to maybe help me design the tattoo? I’d be willing to pay.
What I would do if I were you is go online and look for the picture that you have in mind and take that to the tattoo artist. If you get one from the flash art (the drawings on the walls of tattoo shops) you won’t get a unique design. And most tattoo artists are also excellent sketch artists. BUT before you do that, get some tattoo magazines and research tattoo shops in your area. I don’t know where you are from, if Michigan I could recommend a few people but if not another favorite thing I do is whenever I see someone with a tattoo that looks really good, say "Hey nice tat where did you get it?" People love to talk about their tattoos. Look at the lines, are there any breaks? Sometimes if you look real closely at a tattoo you will see where the artist didn’t hold the gun very steadily. Look at the color, is there any faded spots? That can be a sign that either it wasn’t taken care properly in the first stages or the tattoo artist pushed the needle down too hard.
For some reason people want to get tattooed in the summer, and really that is the worst time to do it because although the instructions that they give you tell you not to go directly in the sun for 7 days it is really more like 2 or 3 weeks depending on your skin, the sun will pull the ink out, and you can not swim after getting one done. As long as you don’t mind that though you are good to go.
How can I make a nautical Star tattoo more original?
January 5th, 2010
I have been doing research about Nautical Stars because I want to get it on my arm, but it seams that they have been over used and they have lost meaning. I want to get mine done because I believe that it mean guidance. How can I add some flare to it?
nautical stars are almost by definition unoriginal now a days.. they more associated with bros and skin heads rather than the traditional tattoo style they came from.
the only way to get past the association of bro and still have a nautical star tattoo is to do a whole traditional piece. like full on ship, mermaids, sparrows/swallows, banners, the sea, ect. and have the nautical star(s) as part of it.
