usually in here the best ones charge you around US$ 150 per hour ,
so a simple butterfly can go to around 300 . plus the design charge .
it will depend how well is the design and how many lines ,cause it
can  turn out a time consuming to make too much lines .
like when you are making a geisha tattoo with good kimono and
hair details . A geisha like this one can go around a 1.000 .

Woah, that's really expensive. My aunt's boyfriend has lots of tattoos, and really big ones too sooo... o_o Guess I'm glad mine was small, only took like 5-10 minutes and didn't require any design charges because I "did" that myself (but since it's just words, I'd rather say my PC did it )

 lettering is a very good use of tattoo ,
i never done myself but , i intend to someday .
i know that it sounds expensive but , there are
a lot of places all around that you make inks in
small sessions as far as you pocket can go .

 But here in Japan the good ones don't do that .
but i think it's only in here . I heard a lot of people
having small sessions outside japan and although it
takes some time to finish it , at least there is a way
to do it for everyone .
 i guess i am just lucky to have a good job .

Yeah, when you want a big tattoo it is always done in sessions here. Not only because of the price, but also because it probably starts hurting a lot after a while.

i hear you . most of the time 
people says that 2 hours is just perfect .
most of the tattooers also agree .
because for them it is also stressful 
and tiring to be holding tight the needles
for so long . i can only imagine .

Exactly. I don't want to say that mine hurt, but he tattooed the words once, and then redid single parts that didn't look as good yet. And when he redid those parts, it became... not more painful, but it was far less comfortable. I personally couldn't imagine sitting there for hours and hours, because that would probably be quite exhausting

 this is actuality something i like to write about cause ,
(maybe even i should ) because at some point , you became
so addicted  to the smell and everything that , you start to
look everywhere to find something to makes you going back 
to the studio again .
 i really love even the pain .

sorry for making this a long conversation , 
it was very nice talking to you !

Yeah, a lot of people say they're addicted to getting tattoos. And I think people "enjoy" the pain because they know it has a "purpose", because after the pain, something pretty comes out~ Like when some doctor decided to cut you open for some reason you think is stupid, you will be far less comfortable with the surgery. But if you know this is necessary for your health and that you'll be better afterwards, it's probably easier to go through the pain. Kinda a bad example but still xD
haha don't worry, i enjoyed talking to you too! there aren't many popular deviants who will reply to comments and even start a conversation which is another reason why i found this conversation very enjoyable
