I think they're a little more expensive, but I haven't really looked. Since these are pieces of art you're buying the price has it's own standard, cause if one guy is charging 4 then there's nothing stopping people flying to go see him for tattoos if 6 is the price they charge around town. They save money and get out of town a bit, and some people are nuts and will get a full sleeve in a week. Those people that do 10 hour sessions are way too into pain.
