I was thinking of getting something along these lines on my arm, taking up the majority of the portion between the shoulder and elbow.

Im a medium sized person, so I dont have massive arms to cover (I assume that the bigger you are, the more its gonna cost).

It's going to depend hugely on the quality and reputation of the artist, as well as whether you are designing it or getting their in-house artist to design it on a brief for you.

The place Im thinking of going is pretty reputable, but Im probably going with my brother, who has had work done there before.

Do they get insulted if you bring in a picture and ask for it as is? I wasnt sure if theyd get irritated if I wasnt 100% sure, too.

It depends on where you go. I would approximate to 500-700, but that would be huge approximation. If you bring design its fine, some people literally choose it from the book and will cost you less too.
Artist can make an exact copy, design is not that difficult too

You could get it for $300. $500-$700 is way to high for something so simple.

Nice. Id really like to keep it closer to $300, but I understand that the detail and color might drive it up. Ive got a couple things listed on Craigslist, so if I get another bite, Ill be good to go.

Looks like one of the Native American killer whale / orca designs.

Yea, that's a 2-3 hour tattoo at most (doubt it takes more than 2 hours). $300 is realistic.

Honestly though, I think that's a pretty bad tattoo but then again I hate those tribal tattoos altogether.

Its a shark. I didnt really think about how similar to a dolphin it is. Dolphins are awesome, but maybe Ill ask for slight change in detail to emphasize its sharkiness

Yeah, I hear you. I just cant draw very well, and I wanted to find something that wasnt like a 3D great white, but more detail than a simple outline

I would definitely go with a 3D shark over a tribal version. If you go black/grey you can still keep the cost within your budget as well.

I really like this design, but I assumed it would actually cost way more:

Yea it would but that's because it's almost photo realistic. Something like those below however would be within your budget. The more detail needed the longer it will take and the more it would cost. Not saying you should go with one of these 2 but this style should be within your budget.

The ball is round, the game lasts 90 minutes. That's fact.
Everything else, is theory.
