So have you sent email to them?

2k-3k is fine, but hit over that amount, I don't think I can afford.

Lol.

Please do update us about this.

I'm from Penang, must get it done ASAP.

Travel down to KL just to get a tattoo, my friends will think I'm insane.

End of this month? I don't think I can make it, kinda too rush.

I plan to get a small one, something adorable, not the colour one I think , location will be...behind my neck where i can cover with my hair and it only can be seen when i tie my hair.

how much will it be if this case normally? any suggestion for me?

I know Shige artworks are great. I wonder how many are going to set appointments to be tattooed by him.

If he decided not to let you know the price, then after tattooed, total is RM 10k? How?

Hehe.

robotic koi .. that would look awesome ...

ok that koi cannot .. something futuristic 1 .. abit transformer like .. w00t .... anybody tattoo teng war b4 ah?

I see many people did wing one huh.
I was thinking of a pair of wing too.
emm, or a rose, perhaps a butterfly.
Any nice tattoo artist in KL area to intro?

nice teng war ... but too small and needs to be bolded baru look awesome haha

haaahhaa my religion do not allow la ..

that's cool, but I'll need some time to think about it 1st.
Gotta consider many things. 

Thanks, when I made my decision I'll let you know.

10k to get tattooed by Shige? That's average price for half sleeve if you get tattooed by Shige. I talked to the guy that got a full body suit from Shinji, the apprentice of Horitoshi and he's also feature in Miami Ink. That body suit is 80 hours of works and Shinji price is about the same as Shige. You do the maths hehe..

Btw here's the pic of the bodysuit

Yeah, famous tattoo artist range between $150-250 price range...

Some of the famous Japanese tattoo artist, i can list a few of them which i really like and called them before to make an appointment and guess what they told me? "ok they are all fully booked a year advance, do you want another artist instead?"

Horitomo is my fav http://horitaka.com/horitomo.html
NYAdorned, check out Shinji and Chris O'Donnell http://www.nyadorned.com/tattoo/index.htm

Btw, Chris Garver is overrated.. $500/hrs is a ripped off lol

Added on April 11, 2009, 9:21 amSilver, it's ok.. save the money and when you have enough then you do it, dont rush it like me because i got a dragon and i never really like it. Right now i am saving a fortune to get the tattoo before i go back for good

Yeah that phoenix is awesome, i wouldnt mind to have that on my back! hahah.. Well i am in the US and work part time at a chinese restaurant doing delivery so a tattoo shop always order from us and i am the one who bring them their food. so i started to fall in love with it but then i never do any research and i just go in, i want a dragon...then he sketch it out and i think it's pretty cool then i got it!

But after i do some research and goes omg?? there's more badass tattoo artist and regret it so much so my next ink must be a well known artist no matter how much it cost.. it's on my body forever and i want it to be the best. i wont do it if i dont have enough even though i need to save until 30-40 year old lol

Oh no no.

The ones I got locally are all done by the Nonis brothers at Black Cat.

So you're not from Penang?

Black Cat located at KL right?
