Ankle tattoo?

Gim asked:

Approximately how much time will it take to get a 2inch x 2 inch sized tattoo on my ankle and any ideas how much this could cost? And another question, how much will it hurt and what can I expect it to feel like? Thanks for any help!

Entire time from start to finish-- about prescription medications online 2 hours. The actual tattooing should take about an hour, depending on the amount of detail you have. The cost can range anywhere from $60-$200, again depending on the level of detail, the amount of color, any shading and where the shop is located. (Its cheaper in Reno than SoCal, but I love my artist in SoCal. I would rather pay the extra money since its permanent and I totally trust her.)
It hurts most over the bone and the Achilles Tendon. If you have ever had road rash or scraped yourself really bad on pavement, that's kinda what it feels like. Over the bone, its much more of a strong pinch/poke. Take some deep breaths and put your mind someplace else.

Best of luck to you!
