It's famous tattoo already.
>> This tattoo went viral. >> Look, it looks so clear now. BKG. Yeah, >> it actually healed pretty nice. Like the lines are kind of are pretty crisp. >> And it looks like Arabic, like Middle Eastern. >> No. >> Who did that for you?
Um, I just I was walking to a I was walking to a tattoo parlor like and I walked like six miles to like all the way to like downtown Torrance to like I found a shop finally like the lady at the the gas station told me, "Oh, there's one on this block." And I went in and it's a huge shop and they had like a like a old Harley-Davidson guy there and then like a a like a girl like
mopping up around and then they this like nice Asian guy and the Asian guy came up and like negotiated the price and then he did it in like 30 minutes like he design we just looked on the computer for like I said look up a like um angry kitty angry black cat and he like put up photos and it was all like actual black cats. I'm like okay a cartoon kind of style and so then he looked cartoon style. I said the I said
BKG Arab Arabic lettering and then he found the Arabic alphabet like stylized with like with an Arab twist and stuff and he made the tattoo and in 30 minutes and that was it. >> How much was it like $100? >> $160. >> I thought it was $275. >> Uh no, but it's probably like he
probably like gave me a discount though, you know. I was like I was kind of pretty cool. It was pretty good though for >> 30 minutes. I mean that seems like it's a little on the pricey side. Normally I thought it was like $100 an hour. I thought that's normally like what the average what they charge. >> Well, the one on my back which is huge and it was all black and white and he took like three hours to do and he charged me 300 bucks for that. >> No, it was pricey but I was like I just
wanted done that and I had >> about when it comes >> because I have experience in this in this in this field. So like when it comes to uh tattoos and body piercings and stuff, you know, like uh when most artists they'll go for like so that's like I guess like the general rule like a h 100red bucks an hour, you know, that seems fair, you know, but like a tattoo
that will take an hour, you know, like it really depends, you know, because a tattoo can be kind of small, but like that tattoo is going to take, you know, there's extra amount of detail, you know, so it's kind of it's kind of difficult, you know, and it varies from artist to artist, you know, on the industry because like you know like whether they're whether they're paying
they have like their spot you know that it's like they got to balance out the income along with what they're being charged to to do work at the shop you know now if it's like a privately owned business and everything you know it's like um gauging the pricing on how you're going to do the tattoo really all depends on the artist because like if you want to make more bang for your buck
you don't want to be spending like an hour on a name. You know, though the name is big, it'll take me a half hour, 40 minutes to do have a name on, you know, like on some girl's ass or whatever. And it will take me like for the a name the same size, even name on on someone's test, you know, it could take me like maybe a little bit longer
or maybe a little bit less time, you know what I mean? Like so like $100 an hour though I think is a pretty fair you know um like the uh estimation you know but like again you know you have to account for like artist paying for his spot and you know having to like uh basically break
even so he's making making money you know. >> I mean I think
